历史在哪里鲜活(Where history comes alive)

希腊的科孚岛老堡垒自豪地站在岩石半岛的顶端，目前是科孚岛公共图书馆和档案馆的所在地。威尼斯共和国拥有可追溯到拜占庭时期（公元前330年-1453年）的丰富历史，为了保护科孚古城免受敌人的袭击，威尼斯共和国建造了这座雄伟的堡垒。6世纪，入侵者袭击了科孚岛，促使幸存者建造了一个被堡垒包围的新村庄。拜占庭时期开始建造，但在威尼斯统治期间，他们改变了结构，以建造抵御奥斯曼人的盾牌。几个世纪以来，这座希腊地标见证了该地区的巨大变化，包括强大帝国的兴衰。

Standing proud on the tip of a rocky peninsula, the Old Fortress of Corfu in Greece is currently home to the Public Library and the Archives of the Prefecture of Corfu. Boasting a rich history dating back to the Byzantine period (330 BCE-1453), the Republic of Venice built this imposing fortress to protect the ancient town of Corfu from enemies. During the 6th century, invaders attacked Corfu, prompting the survivors to build a new village surrounded by a fortress. Construction began during the Byzantine period, but they changed the structure during the Venetian rule to create a shield against the Ottomans. Over centuries, this Greek landmark has witnessed the region undergo tremendous change, including the rise and fall of mighty empires.
