Benteng Tua, Kerkyra

Benteng Tua Kerkyra (bahasa Yunani: Παλαιό Φρούριο, bahasa Venesia: Fortezza Vecchia) adalah sebuah benteng Venesia yang terletak di Kota Kerkyra. Benteng ini menduduki puncak bukit yang awalnya merupakan tempat berdirinya kota tua Kerkyra dari zaman Romawi Timur.^[1]

Sebelum masa kekuasaan Venesia, bukit ini (yang terletak di antara Teluk Kerkyra di utara dan Teluk Garitsa di selatan)^[2] dilindungi oleh perbentengan Romawi Timur, yang kemudian diganti oleh benteng yang dirancang sendiri oleh Venesia.^[1] Venesia memisahkan bukit ini dari Kota Kerkyra dengan menggali parit Contrafossa dan mengubah benteng ini menjadi sebuah pulau buatan.^[1]^[2]^[3] Benteng ini berhasil menghalau tiga pengepungan yang dilancarkan oleh Utsmaniyah: pengepungan tahun 1537, 1571, dan 1716.
