Report
Kerkyra, Marasli and Kyprou Streets (Menekratous plot). The 21st EBA reports the discovery of a 25m-long stretch of the 18th-century Venetian fortification of the Sotiros hill (fig. 1) with a cobbled channel running alongside it (fig. 2). Venetian wall foundations found in 2003-2004 along Marasli Street, immediately to the north of the Menekratous plot, are probably to be associated with this fortification (fig. 3).
