Acropolis (Medieval Castle) of Ypati Phthiotis

Attraction near Lamia (23.8km ≈ approx.)

Even if today there are only a few remains of the castle, the reason why they built it there is clear. The view from up there is breathtaking.

According to the researchers and the excavation findings, the ancient city was founded in 410 BC. It was the capital of the Aenianes people and has a long history that involves battles, mystery, and plenty of leaders with different nationalities.

The Acropolis was a part of the city and the castle was probably founded by the Catalans in the 14th century AD. During the following centuries, it did not get any masonry reinforcements and due to this reason, there are no many remains of it until today. The most distinctive and impressive part of it is the ruins of the round tower in one of the edges of the Acropolis.
