Bourtzi

This photo features the Bourtzi Castle in the harbor at Nafplion. This castle was built by the Venetians in 1473 to protect the area from intruders. In addition to being used as a fortress, the Bourtzi has been used as a residence for convicts and a hotel, but today is it mainly just visited by tourists.
