Spinalonga
On the northern tip of the offshore island of Spinalonga (originally a peninsula), which is cut off from the main island by a man-made channel to form the separate island of Kalidóna, stands a Venetian fort of 1571 (enlarged 1585; from 1897 a leper colony).
The fortified castle was built by the Venetians in 1526 to prevent enemy ships from entering the harbor.
