Sea Gate, Methóni Castle, Methóni, Peloponnese, Greece

            Methóni Castle was built by the Venetians in the early 13th century on a rocky promontory. The castle is among the largest ones in the Mediterranean. It has a bridge stone of 14 arches which connects the castle to the shore instead of the timber one that used to stand in its place before the Venetians ever got there. The celebrated symbol of Venice, the lion of St Marc, dominates the gate of the castle where immured reliefs, emblems, blazons, inscriptions, the huge gates –especially the main gate, above the moat – and the relics of two Ottoman bathhouses have survived.
