The Old Fortress of Corfu (Greek: Παλαιό Φρούριο Venetian: Fortezza Vecchia) is a Venetian fortress in the city of Corfu. The fortress covers the promontory which initially contained the old town of Corfu that had emerged during Byzantine times.Before the Venetian era the promontory which lies between the Gulf of Kerkyra to the North and Garitsa Bay to the south was defended by Byzantine fortifications which the Venetians largely replaced with fortifications of their own design.
