History meets beauty 2

Greece
Aegean Sea
Dodecanesos complex
Leros island (for more information please refer to the previous photo in the series.Thank you)

The castle of Leros was built during the Byzantine period when the island enjoyed a considerable wealth. In 1204 passed in Venetians hands enjoying again a very blissful period of commercial wealth till the beginning of 8th century when the Ottomans conquered the island. In the castle there is a byzantine church with an old icon of Virgin Mary and a great museam covering the history of the island.
