built between 1576 and 1645 on the rocky hill of San Marcos overlooking from the west the old town of Corfu. The fortress extended south with walls and ramparts reaching the sea at Garitsa Bay. Corfu is now all within the walls, it was then that Corfu took the name Kastropolis.<\/p>\n<p>The New Fortress was designed and built by the Venetian military engineer Ferrante Vitelli. Vitelli was a renowned architect and engineer who worked extensively on fortifications throughout the Venetian Republic, including the construction of the walls of Nicosia in Cyprus and the fortifications of the Dalmatian coast.<\/p>\n<p>The fortress was designed to be a modern and formidable defensive structure, capable of withstanding attacks by both land and sea. It featured a complex system of walls, bastions, and moats, as well as barracks, powder magazines, and other facilities for soldiers and officers.<\/p>\n<p>Vitelli&#8217;s design for the New Fortress was highly innovative and influential, and it served as a model for many other fortifications built during the 16th and 17th centuries. Today, the New Fortress is one of the most impressive and well-preserved examples of Renaissance military architecture in Greece, and it is a popular tourist attraction and historical landmark in Corfu.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of the fortress was a response to the increasing threat of Ottoman attacks on the island. It was designed to strengthen the island&#8217;s defenses and provide a secure stronghold for the Venetian garrison.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3911\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 700px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3911 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-700x260.jpg\" alt=\"Corfu new fortress\" width=\"700\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-700x260.jpg 700w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-1140x424.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-768x286.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-1536x571.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-386x144.jpg 386w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-780x290.jpg 780w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-1170x435.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-600x223.jpg 600w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-1024x381.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-24x9.jpg 24w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-36x13.jpg 36w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-48x18.jpg 48w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress-1076x400.jpg 1076w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/corfu-new-fortress.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Corfu new fortress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The fortress was built in a pentagonal shape and included a series of walls, bastions, and gates, as well as a moat and a drawbridge. The main entrance was located on the eastern side of the fortress, and it was protected by a massive gate known as the Porta of Spilia.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its formidable defenses, the New Fortress was eventually captured by the French in 1797 and later by the British in 1815. NOTE: In fact, we shouldn&#8217;t consider these as captures since the collapse of the Venetian republic had preceded it after its defeats by the French, and the two fortresses of Corfu were essentially left without a garrison, waiting for the French army.<\/p>\n<p>Today, it remains one of the most impressive examples of Venetian military architecture in the Mediterranean and is a popular tourist attraction in Corfu.<\/p>\n<p>To become a fortress, except for the exhaustive work of the residents, 2,000 houses in particular where now stands the vast Esplanade square, had to be demolished.<\/p>\n<p>It has been said that materials taken from the ruins of the ancient city of Corfu in Paleopolis were also used, and this was a disaster, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for the house&#8217;s demolition was not only to find building materials but primarily defensive, the Venetians wanted to create a large buffer zone between the <a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/the-old-fortress-in-corfu\/\">Old Fortress<\/a> and the city, something that would help better their defense plans. At the same time, this place could be used as the perfect field for military exercises.<\/p>\n<p>That is why today Corfu has perhaps the <a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/esplanade-square-and-liston-in-corfu\/\">largest square in Europe<\/a>, the famous Esplanade.<\/p>\n<h2>Inside the New Fortress of Corfu<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4267\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 700px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4267\" src=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the New fortress of Corfu\" width=\"700\" height=\"929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu.jpg 482w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-291x386.jpg 291w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-452x600.jpg 452w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-386x513.jpg 386w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/new-fortress-inner-corfu-301x400.jpg 301w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Inside the New fortress of Corfu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The New Fortress of Corfu, or Fortezza Nuova, is an impressive complex of buildings and fortifications, which is well worth a visit for those interested in history, architecture, or military strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Once inside the fortress, visitors can explore a number of different areas, including:<\/p>\n<div class=\"narrow-box\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Parade Ground<\/strong> &#8211; This large, open space was originally used for military drills and exercises.
