Paphos, the south-west of Cyprus

Medieval Castle of Paphos

The Medieval Paphos Castle, on the edge of Paphos harbour, originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the port. The Lusignans rebuilt it in the thirteenth century after it had been destroyed in the earthquake of 1222. In 1570 it was dismantled by the Venetians. After capturing the island, the Ottomans restored and strengthened it. It has seen many uses throughout the ages. It was a fortress, a prison, a salt warehouse during the British occupation of the island, and now it is an exhibition venue.
