- Acrocorinth - This ancient castle is perched on a 575m high rock. At the base of the hill lies Ancient Corinth. The fortress boasts perimeter walls totaling approximately 3,000 meters, making it the largest in the Peloponnese and a significant one in the region. Inside, the castle still houses the ruins of the temple of Aphrodite (5th-4th century BC), the spring of Ano Peirini, several Christian churches, a Byzantine underground cistern, mosques, fountains, and more.

It is a classic baroque fortress, designed by engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. In 1715, it was seized by the Turks and remained under their control until 1822, when it was liberated by the Greeks.
