Almost nothing remains of the ancient building, only the walls but it is worth visiting the ruins that are in the greenness of a grove and from where it is possible to admire from the top the entire chief town of the island.

The cross strikes for its dimensions but it represents and remembers those who passed away in the civil war. It is impossible to forget them with a symbol that is visible from the sea even though located on a promontory more than three hundred and fifty metres from the sea level.
VENETIAN TOWER
The tower is of small dimensions and it is more or less very well preserved. In the past it was used to spot the enemy coming from the sea.
The position is perfect since from here it is possible to view the larger part of the western coast of the island.
After the tower the road carries on but we suggest not to drive down it since in very bad conditions and without exit.


Only the façade of two floors with the main entrance and seven windows at the first floor remained intact.
In this moment is possible only to look at it externaly because the inside is not accessible.

there is a bust in Solomos square that has been dedicated to him.
