Pass by
It was built by Antonio Gambello, an architect from Bergamo in 1471, although the construction was completed by the engineer Brancaleone.
This Fortress was constructed by the Venetians after the departure of Mahmut Pasha in 1473 and equipped with cannons. In 1502, the Venetians changed the fortifications on the southwest side into an independent rampart and erected an artificial mound of boulders to which they attached a chain. The chain was then connected to the city to prevent hostile ships from entering the harbour.

Amazing day trip
Nikos did a great job providing information about the canal, Ancient Corinth, fortress and Nafplio. He also helped us work on our Greek, even though his English was to notch, whole driving between venues.
He was a great driver, we never felt unsafe.
Overall a great day.

Amazing day!!!
The ancient Corinth was a huge archeological site that is worth visiting! The fortress at Nafplio was amazing! Be careful of walking around the fortress slippery pavers everywhere. Watch your steps. We also stopped and had a delicious lunch in Nafplio as well. The best part of our tour was our guide Nikos. He was very sociable and very informative, full of a wealth of information about our destinations and Greece in general. We would recommend Nikos as a tour guide for a great day. Thank you Nikos!!

Private day tour well worth the cost
Private tour with a wonderful guide/driver, Fotis. It was nice to leave the crowds of Athens for a day to see 2 more accropoli. To see the mountains with snow covered peaks and then to see people in the ocean swimming in the same day is amazing. Nafplio was beautiful and quiet coastal town.
