Review:
Limassol Castle is a stunning medieval structure that can be found right in the middle of the historical center of the city. You’ll find it near Limassol’s old harbor and will be impressed by its unique architecture and beauty.
Though what visitors see today is a newer structure that was rebuilt around 1590 under the Ottoman rule, the original castle was erected in 1193 by French Poitevin knight, Guy de Lusignan. Archaeologists have found that the castle was built over an Early Christian basilica which dates back to the 4th-7th century CE and touring the castle with a guide will get you a lot of interesting details about its history and the importance of the land it’s on.
