Kyrenia Castle |

| Kyrenia Castle in northern Cyprus dates to the 11th century with the construction of thick walls around an ancient Roman fort. Completely renovated in 1290, Kyrenia arose as a stronghold that for centuries protected its inhabitants from attack. Never taken by a direct attack, the castle succumbed to invaders only after blockades hindered the delivery of food and supplies. | ||||||
