Historical sites around Kyrenia

View up to Buffavento Castle

View up to Buffavento Castle, in the Beşparmak (Kyrenia) Mountains. Its Italian name means “Defier of the Winds”. The Byzantines probably built the lowest part of the castle in the 11th century. The Lusignans expanded the castle in the 14th century; it was built as a defence against Arab raids, between St. Hilarion Castle to the west and Kantara Castle to the east and was used to pass signals between them. It was also used as a prison in the 14th century.
