The castle was built by Michael Komninos the Second and it is the most representative sample of the city's medieval character. It consists of the main fortress, two small outer ramparts and the Acropolis. It has a rectangular shape and every 25 m. there is a tower in a different shape. Its walls are 2.5 m. thick and 10 m. high. In the center of the hill you can see the ruins of a building that was probably the palace of Komninos family.

Arachthos river is the eighth longest river in Greece. Its length is 110 km. The start of the river is at Pindos mountains and it flows into Amvrakikos Gulf. It passes through a part of Ioannina and crosses Arta. Kalarrytikos, Metsovitikos and Zagoritikos tributaries connect with Arachthos.

The name Agnanta derives from the adverb "Agnantia" which means "gazing or looking from afar”. The first written testimony on Agnanta is in a Turkish contract of 1729, which refers to the areas and forests of Agnanta.

The city’s bus station is located approximately 55 km. north of Arta and 50 km. east of Ioannina. There are bus routes to both cities daily. The village center has an altitude of 650-700 meters (while the total height of the mountain is about 2.150 meters).

The exhibition is located in vaulted rooms next to the entrance of the monastery of Chozoviotissa and was opened in 2007. It includes examples of Byzantine and post-Byzantine ecclesiastical art: icons, liturgical and priestly vestments, woodcut crosses, gospels, cups, trays, spoons and many other useful objects.

This is one of the three ancient cities of Amorgos. It is located above the port of Katapola, on the south slope of the hill. The ruins of the ancient city, like other cities of Amorgos, were identified in 1837 by L. Ros who described the buildings in detail. The findings of the first excavations (mainly inscriptions which are now in the museum of Syros) were performed by the French School at Athens in 1888 and they added new information concerning the history of the city from the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC) to the Roman period (3rd century AD).
