The castle of Methoni -actually a fortified city- is one of the most important and the most beautiful castles in Greece. It was built by the Venetians after 1209 at a strategic location, on a rock penetrating the sea and is separated from the land by an artificial moat. Nowadays the fortress, even though in ruins, continue to be impressive.

Methoni Castle, Messenia Greece
Methoni Castle is one of the most well preserved medieval castles in the Mediterranean Coast. It's position was a strategic one as it controlled all trade routes coming from the Adriatic Sea.
The Castle is divided in two parts, the south part where housing and other buildings exist with a simple fortification and with towers in close spaces. The northen part which is more fortified is the main complex of the Castle and here was also the seat of the Castle's commander. The two parts are divided by a small fortified wall with five towers.
Inside the Castle, there are some buildings that remain still intact among them the church of 'Metamorfosis tou Sotiros', a pyramid-like structure which was used as gunpowder storage and two Ottoman hamams. Also, close to the Ottoman hamams an old minaret exists but is in ruins.
One of the most exciting places of the Castle is the 'Μπουρτζι' (Bourtzi), a small fortified castle built in a small islet near the main castle's entrance in the sea. It's an octagonal tower with a small octagonal fortification and it is consisted of two levels. Inside the tower, there were four levels separated by wood floors. However, none exist today. 'Μπούρτζι' (Bourtzi) was firstly built by the Venetians around 1500 A.D. and the structure was completed by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century.
By the beautiful music of Nacho Sotomayor (Nirvana Song), enjoy.

ΚΑΣΤΡΟ ΜΕΘΩΝΗΣ ΜΕΣΣΗΝΙΑ ~ METHONI CASTLE MESSINIA GREECE
Το Κάστρο της Μεθώνης βρίσκεται στην Πελοπόννησο, στην κωμόπολη Μεθώνη Μεσσηνίας. Από τα σημαντικότερα οχυρωματικά κτίσματα στον Ελληνικό χώρο κατά τον μεσαίωνα .Το 1205 οι Φράγκοι σταυροφόροι αναφέρεται ότι οχύρωσαν την Μεθώνη πρόχειρα και το 1209 οι Ενετοί έφτιαξαν το σημερινό κάστρο και το λιμάνι του τότε οικισμού. Στην αρχαιότητα η Μεθώνη ήταν γνωστή με το όνομα Πήδασος. Ο Όμηρος την αναφέρει ως μία από τις επτά πόλεις που ο Αγαμέμνονας προσέφερε στον Αχιλλέα για να κατευνάσει την οργή του και να τον πείσει να επιστέψει στη μάχη (Ιλιάδα). Ο Παυσανίας και ο Στράβωνας την ονομάζουν Μοθώνη και την ταυτίζουν με την ομηρική πόλη.
