Palamidi (Greek: Παλαμήδι) is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre-high (709 ft) hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
The fortress was a very large and ambitious project, but was finished within a relatively short period from 1711 to 1714. It is a typical baroque fortress based on the plans of Venetian engineer and oltramarini officer Antonio Giancix (Antun Jančić) and built by French military engineer Pierre de la Salle.
