Old Fortress
The modern name "Corfu" is the Latin version of the Byzantine word "Korypho" and means "city of the peaks", referring to the two peaks of the Fortress. It was built in a strategic location, which the Venetians converted in the 15th century to an island by creating an artificial moat called "Contrafossa".
