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

This building is called the Paphos Castle. In fact, the small fort, which stands on the ancient mole in the western part of the port of the Roman city of Nea Paphos, was never a castle. He was included in the coastal defense system of Cyprus during the reign of the famous Cypriot medieval French knight dynasty Lusignan. This is actually a Frankish tower inside the Venetian wall. After the capture of the island by the Turkish, the destruction and restoration of the tower in 1592, the "castle" formed its current look. This is evidenced by the inscription, carved on a marble plate, mounted in the tower wall above the entrance. Translated with Google Translate
