Castle of Ioannina

The castle of Ioannina is the fortified old town of Ioannina. Early 21st-century excavations furthermore have brought to light fortifications dating to the Hellenistic Period (4th–3rd centuries BC), the course of which was largely followed by later reconstructions of the fortress in the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The castle is located on the southeastern corner of the modern city, on top a rocky promontory jutting into Lake PamvotisThe castle is dominated by its two citadels, the northeastern citadel, now dominated by the Ottoman Aslan Pasha Mosque and the much larger southeastern citadel, also known as Its Kale.

The Silversmithing Museum

The Silversmithing Museum is located in the Castle of Ioannina, and more specifically in the western bastion of the north-eastern acropolis (Its Kale). It occupies the bastion’s two levels, as well as the adjacent building of the old cookhouses.

Its objective is to preserve our knowledge of Epirote silversmithing and to disseminate information about its technology to the wider public. Also, to tie in this technology to the social context of the period during which it was developed and flourished.
