Review:
Set close to the center of the old town of Rethymnon, the Fortezza is a centuries-old fortification built during Venetian times during the 16th century before being taken over during Turkish occupation. At the turn of the 20th century, there were even residential buildings inside. Fast forward to modern times, and from its location, visitors can enjoy views of the town below as well as of the coast. Travelers wishing to tour the archaeological site may access it from the alleys of Rethymnon old town or the coast road. Highlights include the east gate, artillery magazine, the mosque, and more.
