Asprovalta

A strategically important castle dating from the 4th century AD. was built on a hill in a very beautiful landscape. Although it is a large castle and is very close to a busy road, it is not easy to see. The fort of Rentina is reasonably well preserved, as are the impressive remains of a settlement. Due to its strategic location, it has a very varied history with Byzantine, Frankish, Serbian and Turkish lords.

The ruins of the 15th-century tower are located in the courtyard of the church of the village Vrasna.

The fortress was most likely a station on Via Egnatia called Pennana. The station must have been used long after the Romans, possibly long after the Ottoman conquest.
