The fortress of Aegosthena dates from the 4th-3rd century B.C. and is considered to be the best preserved ancient castle in Greece.

Due to its position on the borders of Attica, it changed hands several times between the Athenians and the Megarians. It belonged to the Achaean League and, for a while, to the League of the Boeotians.
Near the gate of the north section are located the ruins of firing galleries later turned into monks' shells.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
Kavafis the Alexandrian
