Anthousa Castle (Greek: Κάστρο Ανθούσας), also known as Ali Pasha's Castle, is a fortress near the settlements of Anthousa and Agia, overlooking Parga in Epirus, Greece. It was built in 1814 by the Ottoman Albanian Ali Pasha of Yanina as part of his efforts to capture Parga. The castle occupies a naturally defensible position overlooking the town and the Ionian Sea.
In 1814, Ali Pasha turned his attention to Parga, which remained outside his control. He constructed Anthousa Castle as a base from which his forces could besiege and threaten the town. The castle was designed by the Italian engineer Don Santo di Monteleone and formed part of Ali Pasha's network of fortifications around Parga.
Parga was eventually handed over to Ali Pasha by the British on 10 May 1819. Following the transfer, Ali Pasha took possession of Parga and strengthened its fortifications.
Anthousa Castle occupies a fortified position on a hill overlooking Parga. Its principal defensive structure is a large bastion-tower with gun positions facing toward the town. The fortress also contains courtyards, vaulted rooms and other defensive structures.
