The Castle of Orgias or Orias is found at Salmeniko, on the Panachaiko mountain, and is particularly important, as it is the last castle that fell into Turkish hands.
It was located on a protective position on a hill, which is why in years a large city developed around it, whereas on one side there was a cliff, as the river Foinikas was passing through.
According to the folklore tradition, a princess was murdered on the rock of Oria by a traitor, so that the castle would be taken over.
It was also used as a shelter against pirate invasions and muslim attacks.
Today in the district there are few ruins of the castle wall and some of the residences, whereas the biggest part of the castle has collapsed because of the landslides and the access to the ruins of the castle is practically impossible.
