Join us in the Old Town from the south side where the Raimondos Gate once controlled the entrance. See, firstly the Ionian Academy building, the first Greek University. The Ionian Academy was founded by the hellenophile Frederick North, Lord of Guildford, who used all his savings and worked hard to bring the academy to fruition.

Pass through the Spianada, the large beautiful square and end up at the entrance of the imposing Old Fortress.
