During my travels in Cyprus, i was fortunate enough to visit the historic castle of Kolossi. It is located outside the city of Limassol, in the far south. This Crusader castle of Kolossi towers over a landscape of vineyards famed to be used by the knights of St John during the crusades, i believe. The castle was built in 1210. The British restored the castle in 1933. It is an isolated building overseeing a flat plain as most castles do in those day for strategic reasons. Walking into the castle, you wonder what used to go on, in those days within these walls. The castle is made out of large blocks of stone which matches the country side giving it a whitish appearance. It has magnificent architecture within the castle grounds but looks square and flat from the outside. A trip to Cyprus is not complete without a visit to Kolossi Castle.
