The Old Castle is the best known and most famous castle in Corfu. It dates back to the Byzantine period but the main fortification was built by the Venetians.
It is very well preserved, and so, great place to visit, but unfortunately none of the buildings constructed by the Venetians survived until today, and the buildings which you will see in the castle today were constructed by the British much later.
The church of St. George is one of the buildings constructed by the British in the style of a Doric temple.
The Fortress houses the Public library of Corfu and the Hellenic Music Research Lab of the Ionian University in the old British barracks.

Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V in 1600s, originally as commercial port where ships from all over the world would dock. It was a place were sailors came to get drunk and find prostitutes. The area upgraded in order to get rid of this activity only few years ago.
