Palamidi is a fortress in Nafplio which was built in 1687 by the Venetians, after the occupation of the hill on which it is located, after a fierce battle with the Ottomans during the Venetian-Turkish War. The hill on which it is located is 216 meters high and the ascent to Palamidi is done either by carriage road or by a staircase with many steps (known as 999 steps, when in fact it is 857 steps [1]). In 1715, during the last Venetian-Turkish War, the Ottomans conquered it after blowing up part of it.
