Review & FAQ:

In northeastern Greece lies the Castle of Ioannina, a fortified old town in Ioannina. Its current form goes back to the late Ottoman period when the ruler Ali Pasha called for its reconstruction. However, the overall architecture is interesting because sections feature Byzantine, ancient Greek, and Normand elements. Two citadels are the main features of the structure. Other highlights include the Treasury and a small bath complex, among others. The site also happens to be the oldest Byzantine castle in all of Greece.
