  • Το Κάστρο της Πάτρας είναι παλαιό φρούριο της πόλης και πλέον σημαντικό καλοδιατηρημένο μνημείο της και ένα εκ των τοποσήμων της. Χτίστηκε επάνω στα ερείπια της αρχαίας Ακρόπολης κατά το δεύτερο μισό του 6ου μ.Χ. αιώνα από τον Ιουστινιανό και συγκεκριμένα μετά τον καταστροφικό σεισμό του 551 με υλικά προ-χριστιανικών οικοδομημάτων για την άμυνα της περιοχής και των κατοίκων.

  • El Castillo de Patras (en griego: Κάστρο Πατρών) fue construido a mediados del siglo VI encima de las ruinas de la antigua Acrópolis, en una colina baja periférica de la Montaña Panachaiko y a cerca de 800 metros del mar en la ciudad de Patras, Grecia.​ El castillo abarca 22.725 m² y consta de una muralla exterior triangular, reforzada por torres y puertas y además protegida originalmente por un foso, así como un complejo interior en la esquina noreste, también protegido por un foso. Durante la Guerra de Independencia griega, el castillo resistió a todos los intentos de los rebeldes griegos por tomarlo. Sólo en 1828, con la llegada de una fuerza expedicionaria al mando del general francés , los otomanos lo entregaron. Después de la independencia, el castillo fue usado por el ejército griego hasta después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En 1973, el castillo fue entregado al sexto Eforato de Antigüedades Bizantinas. Se utiliza hoy en día para los eventos culturales, especialmente durante el verano, y cuenta con un teatro con una capacidad de 640 asientos. (es)
  • The Patras Fortress (Greek: Κάστρο Πατρών) was built around the mid-6th century A.D above the ruins of the ancient acropolis of the city of Patras, on a low outlying hill of the Panachaiko Mountain and ca. 800 m from the sea. The castle covers 22,725 m² and consists of a triangular outer wall, strengthened by towers and gates and further protected originally by a moat, and an inner compound on the northeastern corner, also protected by a moat. The first castle on the spot was built by Byzantine emperor Justinian I after the catastrophic earthquake of 551, re-using building material from pre-Christian structures. One of these spolia, the torso and head of a marble Roman statue, became part of the city's folklore, a sort of genius loci. It is known as the "Patrinella", a maiden who is supposed to have been transformed into a man during Ottoman times, guards the city against disease and weeps whenever a prominent citizen of Patras dies. The fort remained in constant use thereafter, even until the Second World War. In the Byzantine period, it was besieged by Slavs, Saracens, Normans and many others, but it never fell. In particular, the successful repulsion of a great siege of 805 AD by the Arabs and the Slavs was attributed to the city's patron saint, St Andrew. In 1205, in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, it was taken over by the Franks, who strengthened it further, opening a moat on all three sides. In 1278, the Principality of Achaea pawned it to the local Latin (Catholic) Archbishop, while the Pope leased it to the Venetians for five years in 1408. The Latin Archbishop remained in possession of the castle until 1430, when it was taken by the Despot of the Morea and future last Byzantine emperor, Constantine Palaiologos, who made extensive repairs to its walls. The castle fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1458, and remained one of their main seats of power in the Peloponnese throughout the Tourkokratia. The Venetians took the castle in 1687 during the Morean War, and kept it until the Morea was retaken by the Turks in 1715. Following independence, the castle remained in use by the Greek Army until after World War II. In 1973, the castle was turned over to the 6th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities. It is used nowadays for cultural events, especially during summer, and features a theatre with a capacity of 640 seats. * View of the castle * The castle as seen on a late 19th-century post card. * Patras castle, 1890. * Overview (en)
