Kastro was the biggest medieval
town from the twelfth century till 1830. It was built upon a cliff
sticking out into the ocean at the north end of the island. Just a
narrow strip connected the cliff to the island itself. Here there
was built a strong wall with a solid door. The cliff is very high
with steep sides. Therefore the people who lived there had a secure
town which was easy to defend against enemies. At its largest there
were about 300 houses and 22 churches here. Today just one church
remains and the ruins of a few others. Parts of the defence wall
facing the main island also remain. There are also a couple of
restored private houses here.
