Bathed in the warm glow of late afternoon sunlight, this section of the sprawling 18th-century Venetian complex highlights the rugged stone masonry, a stone-arched bell gable, and an upper observation deck flying the Greek national flag. Looking past the defensive walls, the viewpoint looks directly down onto the modern port facility, the calm blue waters of the Argolic Gulf, and the distant, rolling mountain ridges of the Peloponnese region.
