Neopatras Fortresses

neo_neopatras_fortresses_advance

In the mountainous frontier of southern Thessaly, the lords of Neopatras, first Brienne and later Aragonese, constructed and repeatedly strengthened one of the most formidable castle complexes in Frankish Greece, turning the ancient city into a virtually impregnable stronghold that withstood repeated sieges by their enemies. These towering walls, deep ditches, and cleverly situated outworks became a symbol of Latin tenacity, allowing a small but determined garrison to project influence deep into central Greece and delay the northward advance of hostile powers for generations.
