The Castle of Myrina is the trademark of the capital of Lemnos and is considered one of the best preserved in Greece.
The castle was built by the Venetians, retaining parts of an earlier phase of the Byzantine period (early 12th century). The Byzantines had built the castle on an ancient citadel. Today’s structure and layout is due to the Gattilusi Genoese who redesigned it (15th century) as well as later Venetian and Turkish interventions.
Myrina is called by the locals and Kastro (Castle). Today, visitors to the castle, in addition to the ruins of the old fortress, can see its current “inhabitants”, the approximately 70 beautiful deer of the “Platoni” variety.
Prefer for your access, the entrance from the side of the “Romeiko Gyalo beach”, in the morning or in the afternoon hours. Equally impressive is the spectacle of the illuminated castle at night, from the city of Myrina.
