Mount Fokas is a 862m high hill in in the area of Corinth. A medieval settlement existed on its trapezoid summit and later a castle was built by the Franks in the 13th century (or perhaps by the Byzantines, a little earlier).
The castle controlled the plains of Nemea and the main route to the center of Peloponnese. It had visual contact with other Frankish castles in the area like Acrocorinth or Agios Vasilios but also with some castles in Central Greece, on the opposite side of the gulf of Corinth.
Only a few ruins of the walls and from the settlement remain at the lower part of the rock.
References:Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
