Paros Sights & Monuments - The Venetian Castle in Paros, Greece is a must-visit destination in Nasoussa. Originally built in the 15th century as a watchtower by the Venetians, this fortress played a crucial role in defending against pirate and enemy attacks, as well as serving as a front line during war. The fortress's prime location offered a clear view of the Aegean Sea, allowing for efficient surveillance. Its unique architecture made it nearly impossible for enemy ships to approach the nearby port where commercial ships docked. Today, only a portion of the fortress remains, including a half-submerged watchtower connected to land by a short path. The original second watchtower is no longer standing, but both towers had large iron gates for easy commercial transactions. The Venetian Castle of Paros is situated near charming bars and fish taverns, replacing Venetian storehouses that were once present. The fortress's rich history includes conquests by the Russians and Ottomans. Don't miss the chance to explore this iconic site in Paros.
