On the roof of the castle there were twelve loopholes in which the corresponding number of guns was installed. They were decommissioned and dismantled by the Turks in 1878, when they transferred the island’s rule to the British. During the British rule, the castle was used as a salt store. In 1935, in accordance with the Law on Antiquities, it was declared a historical monument. Since then, the castle is restored and protected by the Department of Antiquities.
