The Castle of Molyvos (or Mythimna) was probably constructed in the mid 13th century and it was renovated in 1373 by the Genovese Frangisk I Guateluzo. However, it also went under reformations by the Turks in 1462, so it is evident that the architectural style went under many changes.
This is a well-constructed fortress with strong walls, signs, coat of arms and other distinctive elements. The Castle is divided in many levels, connected to each other with paved paths. The entrance door of the Castle is made of strong wood, covered by metallic tables. In summer, this site hosts many festivals and cultural events, such as musical concerts, lectures and theatre performances.
