Pinsteps. Paphos Castle
Places to visit in Пафос. Languages: ru, he, en

It seems that the fortifications of Paphos during the reign of the Byzantine Empire were built approximately at the same place. The remains of the tower, incorporated by the Turks into the modern building that has come down to us since the days of the Ottoman Empire, were built by the French rulers of Cyprus from the Lusignan dynasty. They erected these fortifications after a devastating war with the Saracens in 1222 AD. The two towers were connected by a suspension bridge. When the Genoese seized the port in 1373 AD, they raised the height of their fortress walls and formed a moat separating the fort from the coast. They managed to do this simply because they reduced the part of the Franconian pier, which provided access from the sea tower to the coastline. Translated with Google Translate
