This Byzantine castle is on the highest peak of Corfu’s shoreline on the north west coast, near Paleokastritsa.
Rocky terrain takes you up to the castle’s domed gate entrance. It is believed to have been built in the 13th-century to protect the inhabitants from African and Venetian pirate attacks.
It is one of Corfu’s most important fortifications. Angelokastro at this time was the capital of Corfu and was occupied by the Governor.
You can also see the remains of a church dedicated to the angels Gabriel and Michael which most surprisingly was built in a cave. There is a marvellous view from the castle which is over 1,000 feet high.
