Corfu #02- Contra Fossa Water Channel

ال Contra Fossa is a remarkable water channel that separates the Old Fortress from Corfu Old Town, forming part of the town’s impressive defensive system. This man-made channel was created by the Venetians in the 16th century to further protect the island from invasions, transforming the Old Fortress into an island on its own. The Contra Fossa played a vital role in strengthening Corfu’s defenses during its time as a key strategic location in the Mediterranean.
