Limassol Castle – Cyprus
Limassol Castle – A Fortress of History and Legend
Located in the heart of Limassol’s Old Town, Limassol Castle is a historic landmark with a fascinating past, dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally built by the Byzantines around 1000 AD, the castle was later expanded by the Lusignans and Ottomans, making it a symbol of Cyprus’ diverse history.
One of its most famous moments was the wedding of King Richard the Lionheart of England to Berengaria of Navarre in 1191, making her the first Queen of England crowned outside England. Over the centuries, the castle served as a fortress, prison, and military stronghold, before becoming a museum showcasing medieval artifacts, armor, and tombstones.
