Castles of Northwest Greece: From the early Byzantine period to the eve of the First World War

Yet these monuments bear witness to the complex later history of the region when Norman, Italian, Angevin, Serbian, Venetian, Turkish and Albanian invaders competed for control. This book is intended to redress this imbalance...
