CASTLE
Built by the
Venetians in the
15th century with many
unique features, like the
fact that it isn’t located on
a high and imposing place. It
was constructed by the Venetian
lord Giovanni Loredano, when he
decided to marry Maria Sommaropa,
who had Antiparos as a dowry. In its
initial form, the complex was set up around
a square yard, in the center of which rose the
main tower. Today, from this tower only the
base is saved. Around used to be 24 prestigious
two-storey residences, with a continuous tall outside
wall, without windows or balconies. The access used to
be made from the inner yard, while there was only one exit
that closed the Gothic gate that is preserved until this day.
A special feature of the castle are the bats, appearing in the
sunset and flying around the tower.
