Greece is strewn with hundreds of castles and fortresses of all ages and civilizations. This rugged and curious region in the southernmost part of Europe, at the vantage point of the Mediterranean... is full of castles and fortresses either on top of mountains or on coasts. There exist walls of neolithic citadels six and seven thousand years old, castles and fortresses of Venetian, Frankish, Byzantine and others as old as three thousand years and even more. This series by the eminent historian Alexander Paradissis, is perhaps the only study of the subject covering the whole of Greek history. The comprehensive material, maps, plans and illustrations will satisfy historians and tourists alike. Volume One covers Northern and East Central Greece : Attica, Boeotia, Phthiotis, Phocis, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace. 174p.illus. with 4 Coloured plates. map, index Book
