Review & FAQ:
Boasting views of the Ionian Sea and the plain of Elis, Chlemoutsi Castle, also known as Chateau Clermont and Castel Tornese, was built in 1220-1223 under the direction of Prince Geoffrey I Villehardouin. Later, it would become an important structure in Achaia, a Frankish principate, where it became the strongest fortress during that time. Over the years, the castle was occupied by the Greeks, Venetians, and Turks. Today, it remains as a fine example of Frankish era fortress architecture in Peloponnese. Visitors can learn more about it by visiting the museum located in the courtyard.
