This book was released on 1972 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece is strewn with hundreds of castles and fortresses of all ages and civilisations. This rugged and curious region in the southernmost part of Europe, at the vantage point of the Mediterranean, so close to Asia and Africa is full of Acropoli, castles and fortresses either on top of mountains or on coasts. There exist walls of neolithic citadels six and seven thousand years old, Acropoli two and three thousand years old, castles and fortresses of Venetian, Frankish, Byzantine and others as old as three thousand years and even more. This series by the eminent historian Alexander Paradissis, is perhaps the only study of the subject covering the whole of Greek history. The comprehensive material, maps, plans and illustrations will satisfy historians and tourists alike. Volume One covers Northern and East Central Greece; Volume Two covers Southern and West Central Greece; Volume Three covers the Greek Islands.

Download or read book Castles of Northwest Greece written by Allan Brooks and published by Aetos Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northwest Greece has always been relatively isolated from the rest of the Greek mainland and, with the exception of small pockets of intense development on the coast, is still little visited by foreign tourists. Modern guidebooks of necessity concentrate on the few important classical and Hellenistic sites with only passing reference to medieval and later fortifications. Yet these monuments bear witness to the complex later history of the region when Norman, Italian, Angevin, Serbian, Venetian, Turkish and Albanian invaders competed for control. This book is intended to redress this imbalance by providing a detailed guide to a selection of the castles and forts of the area dating from the early Byzantine period to the eve of the First World War.

Download or read book Crusader Castles in Cyprus, Greece and the Aegean 1191–1571 written by David Nicolle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The castles built by the Crusaders, Hospitallers, Venetians and Genoese in Cyprus, Greece, the Aegean, and on the Black Sea served to defend against a complex array of constantly changing threats: Mamluks, Catalan mercenaries, Ottoman Turks, Byzantines, independent Islamic states, Timur-i-Lenk, and widespread piracy, to name but few. The resulting fortifications some inherited from conquered the territories of the former Byzantine empire, some built from scratch were very different to those found in the Middle East. This superbly illustrated book explores their design, development and fate in detail, documenting the rich architectural heritage of this region and its complex history.
