The Kasteli of Agios Nikolaos Citadel of Saint Nicholas dated back to the 1400s was one of many built along the edge of the Santorini caldera as a lookout for pirates and a place of refuge during their attacks, a significant problem at the time. Its defensive walls extended all the way down to Ammoudi Bay immediately below.
