To the north of the modern city center, near the harbor,
lays the Castle of Chios. This fortress was built
in the Byzantine times around the 9th century and then repaired after
the wars during the Genoa occupation in the 15th century.
At first, it enclosed the whole city of Chios, but soon the town expanded
outside the precinct of its walls to its present size. Their emblem, three
towers and an eagle, still exists in towers and battlements, which are
in quite good condition |
