The Castle Lighthouse is situated on the walls of the Venetian fortress of Agia Mavra on the Greek island of Lefkada. Actually, the base of the lighthouse is on one of the defense towers of the castle. The structure features a 9-meter-tall square tower, adjacent to a one-story stone keeper's house. The tower’s focal plane is 17 meters. The lighthouse was built in 1861 and powered with oil as a source of energy. In 1889 the old mechanisms were replaced with an automatic acetylene torch and in 1990 it became electrically operated.

This charming church located inside the fortress grounds that hosts summer cultural events. But in its current form, it is a result of the reconstruction of an older chapel that took place sometime during the late 19th century.

The Castle of Santa Maura is a fortress on the northeastern tip of the Greek island of Lefkada. The first castle was probably erected at this location around 1300 by John I Orsini, the Count palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos.
The Ottoman Empire took possession in 1479 and than the fortress was captured by the Republic of Venice in 1684 after a brief siege.
