Historical sites around Kyrenia
View from Saint Hilarion Castle on the Kyrenia mountain range, commanding the pass road from Kyrenia to Nicosia, the best-preserved ruin of the three former strongholds in these mountains. It was named after a monk who allegedly chose the site for his hermitage. A monastery and a church were built here in the 10th century. Starting in the 11th century, the Byzantines began a fortification.
