Venetian clock tower - Each and every people that ruled this city, has left visible signs on the castles and other buildings. Characteristic architectural samples of the period of the Venetian occupation are the Churches, the Castles & the venetian Clock Tower. The English colonel Leake, who passed from Preveza in 1805, records ruins of houses built according to the venetian style. Preveza preserves until today certain architectural ensembles that are interesting to the visitors: industrial buildings of the '30s and neoclassical houses of the period after World War I. The role of Preveza as a tourist centre has been upgraded during the last years.

Krak des Chevaliers is a remarkably well-preserved Crusader castle and it looks almost exactly as it would have 800 years ago. The Krak des Chevaliers guards the only major pass between Antakya in Turkey and Beirut in Lebanon; it was built and expanded between 1150 and 1250 and eventually housed a garrison of 2000.
