Greece · 15th century
The Antirrio Fortress (or castle of Roumeli) is a fortification located in Greece. It is built at the southernmost point of the prefecture of Aetolia-Acarnania, in Antirrio, specifically beside the Rio–Antirrio bridge, where the distance between Central Greece and the Peloponnese is at its smallest, and its location is strategic. During the summer season the Ministry of Culture makes the castle available for the organisation of cultural and entertainment events, such as concerts and theatrical performances.
