The castle served as the capital of Kefalonia from the Middle Ages until 1757. After that, the administrative seat was moved to the present-day Argostoli.
Its origins date back to the Byzantine era (approx. 12th century). However, its current appearance is largely due to the Venetians, who recaptured the castle from the Ottomans in 1500 and massively expanded and reinforced it in the 16th century.
