Castle of Parga

Sightseeing

The main attraction in Parga is, hands down, the Venetian castle! Built in 1792 by the Venetians, the Castle of Parga, as it is also called, was strategically constructed for defensive purposes. Around the castle, there are 8 towers that boost the castle’s defense, while lower on the hill, there are traditional houses sitting around the Venetian castle. Visiting the castle is like entering another era! Supplies galleries, bastions, arched alleys, hidden passages, warehouses, forts… It’s not a stretch of imagination to picture the glorious battles that once took place here! Today, inside the castle there are also two main buildings, hosting events such as exhibitions and theatrical performances, as well as a cafe. And when the night comes, the castle is even more impressive, as it is lit up!
