Review:
Located right in the Paphos harbor and connected to the land by an arched bridge, the Medieval Castle of Paphos was originally a Byzantine fort constructed to defend the harbor. The structure has been destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout the years, but the current building was restored by the Ottomans. Many cultural events are held in the square in front of the castle throughout the year, including an opera staged every September, in which the castle usually acts as part of the backdrop. The castle is open to visitors throughout the year, and there is a small admission fee.
