The Kavala Fortress, built around the first quarter of 15th century, stands at the top of Panagia peninsula where the old town is situated. It was built on the remains of the Byzantine Acropolis of Christoupolis (former name of Kavala) which was destroyed in 1391, incorporating parts that survived from it. The various fortification interventions are quite obvious and were carried out by Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans.
Today, visitors can see the central circular tower that served as the past resort for defense, the arsenal and food storage that was converted to a prison in the 18th century the guardhouse that served as the guards and officers quarters and the cistern.
