Remains of Potiri Castle
The castle of Potiri is located on the western slopes of Mount Ochthonia, southeast of the village of Avlonari in central Euboea.[1] It is first attested in 1426 (castel de comun dito Potiris) as a Venetian fortress, seat of one of the two captains of the local district (along with the Castle of Cuppa).[1]
Remains of the castle include parts of the curtain wall, a tower, and a church dedicated to the Panagia.[2]
