At an altitude of 60 m, this castle (Κάστρο της Πάτρας/Kastro tis Patras) offers beautiful views over the city and the gulf. It was built by the Byzantines in the 6th century on the ruins of the acropolis. Reinforced by the Franks, Venetians and Ottomans, it retains its original structure: a triangular enclosure reinforced with towers and bastions. The castle withstood the great siege of Patras (805-807) by Slavs and Arabs. In 1828, its Ottoman garrison surrendered to the French troops of General Maison. Summer evening shows.

Joli site (notamment la vue sur la ville). Accès assez difficile (pente et escaliers).
