The castle of the throne "Castello dello Soglio" was the first name of the Venetian castle, which along with Palamidi, is considered one of the landmarks of Nafplio. Nevertheless, the name that finally prevailed is Bourtzi, which in Turkish means "Island - Fortress".

Known by almost every Greek citizen as the first capital city of modern Greece, but inexplicably remaining relatively unknown to the rest of the world, Nafplion is a small city with thousands of years of eventful history and a unique character, full of style and beauty.
Nafplion’s long and storied history The area of modern Nafplion has been inhabited since the earliest years of antiquity.
According to the ancient geographer Strabo, Nafplion was initially inhabited by Egyptians, who set foot on the Greek mainland after Danaus, the King of Libya, established a colony in the broader area of Argos far back into antiquity.
For a great deal of its ancient history, Nafplion played the role of a port city to the neighboring city of Argos, which is one of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities on the globe.

The castle of Bourtzi is located in the middle of the harbour of Nafplio. Venetians completed its fortification in 1473 to protect the city from pirates and invaders from the sea. It fell to Ottoman Turks along with the rest of Greece. The Greeks regained it from the Turks in 1822. From it they assisted in the siege of Nafplio. It served as a fortress until 1865, when it was transformed into a residence of the executioners of convicts from the castle of Palamidi. From 1930 to 1970, it served as a hotel. Since then, it has been mainly a tourist attraction.
