During the siege of Morosini, the fortress not only withstood the assault, but it also played a decisive role in defeating the Venetians.<\/p>\n<p>The fortifications of Karababa made Chalkis seem literally impregnable, preventing the Greeks from liberating it from Ottoman rule, despite repeated efforts. The city was ultimately surrendered without resistance following the Treaty of 1833. Its formidable defense was also due, in large part, to the Castle of Chalkis, which, unfortunately, was demolished in 1885.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section

shape. It features a curtain wall, bastions and a northern embankment for added protection. The wall is low and relatively thin, with a single defense line at the level of the battlements. The parapets, accessible by a 1-meter-wide walkway, consist of a series of continuous semicircular arches with gun slits &#8211; a construction style reminiscent of the Fortezza of Rethymno.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance to the fortress is located at the southeastern corner, through a narrow vaulted passage. At the eastern and western ends stand two large polygonal bastions, while the northern and southern sides feature solid pentagonal bastions. The eastern bastion, of exceptional strategic importance, commands a view over the Euripus Strait. It is a dirt-filled polygonal structure, which originally contained five cannon openings, two of which still held old cannons as recently as 1940. A small gunpowder magazine was also located within the bastion.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section galleryBlock \">\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"CarouselDiv\">\n\t<div data-view=\"1\" class=\"Carousel \n\t\tImageGrid ImageGallery--slideshow \n\t\t\toneImg\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tswiper-container \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t half\"  data-type=\"half\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__slide swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"ImageGalleryItem \" style=\"\">\n\t<div class=\"ImageGalleryItemCarousel \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"ImageGalleryItem__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-1536x385.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-768x193.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-1536x385.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-2048x514.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 100vw, 100vw\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"fixedHeightImg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-2048x514.jpg\" alt=\"Karababa Fortress\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-1024x257.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-768x193.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-1536x385.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/KARABABAS-scaled-e1765990744946-2048x514.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\"\/><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav-prev swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<button  class=\"Button \n\t\t\t  \t\t\t   Button--icon-only\t\t\t   Button--secondary--alt \t\t\t  \"   >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__icon  Button__icon--right \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon  \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"  style=\"--svg-size: 24px\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<use class=\"icon-arrow-left-icon\" href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/hh\/public\/images\/icons.svg#icon-arrow-left-icon\"><\/use>\n\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider arrows\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav-next swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<button  class=\"Button \n\t\t\t  \t\t\t   Button--icon-only\t\t\t   Button--secondary--alt \t\t\t  \"   >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__icon  Button__icon--right \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon  \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"  style=\"--svg-size: 24px\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<use class=\"icon-arrow-right-icon\" href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/hh\/public\/images\/icons.svg#icon-arrow-right-icon\"><\/use>\n\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section ContentText TitleCenter  \">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"rich-text\">\n\t\t<p>The western bastion plays host to a permanent exhibition of sculptures from the city of Chalkida titled \u201cFragments of a City: Exhibition of Medieval Sculptures from Chalkis.\u201d The exhibition is divided into 17 thematic sections and features sculptures dating from the Early Christian period to the 19th century, originating from ecclesiastical, secular, and funerary monuments of the city.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section PracticalText  \">\n\t<div class=\"groupsInfo\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"groupInfoItem\" id=\"Directions\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"infoMap\">\n\t\t<div id=\"map\" class=\"mapcell\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t<span>\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon   SvgIcon--custom \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"   style=\"--svg-height: 24px;
