La acropolis of ancient Corinth It is a set of ruins that look to the old city of Corinth and that for many is the most impressive acropolis of the mainland in all of Greece. It is an area that has been inhabited from very ancient times until the beginning of the XNUMXth century, so here history flows.
The acropolis was built in an area that was easy to defend due to its geography but it was fortified later, under the Byzantine empire, and was defended for three years from the attack of the Crusaders. After it was the fortress of vJanians and Ottoman Turks and in fact it was always used as a skillful line of defense for southern Greece, repelling all forces that wanted to enter within the Peloponnese peninsula.
Today we see the remains of three walls on the hill and the highest point of the peak is adorned by a Temple of Aphrodite, later converted into a church or later into a mosque. The truth is that the acropolis of old Corinth is one of the most important medieval castles in Greece so the advice is that you include it in your guide.
