Grimani bastion, which owes its name to the Venetian commander Francesco Grimani, is built on the northeast corner of the Taron’s Castle. Construction work began in 1702 and completed in 1076 as part of the reconstruction of the eastern wall of the lower city during the second Venetian occupation.
The Grimani bastion or knows as San Antonio had four cannon positions, which have been built to protected Acronauplia and the narrow road leading to the Land Gate. It has four sides and at its lower part there are large stones protruding in style THE so-called “Rustic”, while the stones below follow an almost isodomic style.
In northern and eastern wall stands the hallmark of the Venetian fortifications, the emblem of the winged lion of Venice, symbol of the prostate, the evangelist Mark. Today the bastion is well maintained and is visible from the Land Gate and the Staikopoulou Park.
