Myrina
(Castles – Treasures of Greece)
Built in the 12th Century by the Emperor Andronikos Komninos I and fortified by the Venetians, the Castle of Myrina lies on a rocky peninsula, between the two coasts of the Myrina region.
It is the guardian of the capital city and the main port of the isle of Limnos. The castle’s presence in the course of time has been so important that even today, the locals call their city simply “Castle”.
