Fortress of Saint George |
![]() |
The ruins of St. George fortress tower over the regions of Argostoli, Omala, and Leivathos. Built in the 12th century by the Byzantines, it was in the hands of the Turks and Venetians, who ruled for a long time on the island.
In the 16th century, the Venetians fortified and reconstructed it by making the fortress an economic, administrative, and cultural centre of Kefalonia - the island capital.
