This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the imposing fortress that once stood guard over the town from its hilltop perch. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this beautiful Mediterranean destination. The fortress, also known as the Castle of Mytilene or the Metelin Castle, dates back to the Byzantine period. Over the centuries, it has undergone numerous renovations and expansions, reflecting the various rulers who have claimed the island as their own. The fortress's impressive walls, which can be seen in this photograph, were added during the Venetian occupation in the 13th century. Perched atop a rocky hill, the fortress dominates the landscape of Mytilene, offering a breathtaking view of the town and the Aegean Sea beyond. The photograph captures the castle's grandeur and the intricate details of its architecture, from the towering turrets to the intricate arches and battlements. The image also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the townspeople during the early 20th century. The bustling marketplace, with its colorful stalls and vendors, can be seen in the foreground, while the harbor and the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea are visible in the background. Mytilene, with its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and vibrant culture, continues to be a popular destination for travelers from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the town's storied past and its enduring allure.
