Castle

The Castle of Saint Andrew is a fortress in Preveza, Greece. First constructed by the Ottoman Empire in the early 1700s, it was expanded under Venetian rule in 1718–1797 and again under the autonomous regime of Ali Pasha of Yanina in 1807–1808 to become the largest of the several fortifications in the Preveza area.

Castle

The castle of Bouka was the first major Ottoman fortification of Preveza, in northwestern Greece. It was constructed by the Ottomans in 1478, in order to control the straits of the Ambracian Gulf. During its life it underwent several improvements by the Ottomans and one by the Venetians, after they conquered it in 1684. In 1701, the Venetians blew the castle up before they handed Preveza over to the Ottomans, according to the terms of the Treaty of Karlowitz. The castle of Bouka was standing upon the site which today is called "Paliosaraga". The summer seraglio of Ali Pasha of Yannina was built on the castle's remains, during the early 1810s. After Preveza's capture by the Greek Army in 1912, an Army Supply-Unit was based on the site of the castle. Today, there are very few remains of the castle of Bouka, despite the fact that the site has generally not been built up.
