Kyrenia Castle

Guarding the entrance to Kyrenia's historic horseshoe harbor, Kyrenia Castle is a massive fortress whose origins date back to the Byzantine era. Over centuries of turmoil, it was expanded by the Lusignans, heavily fortified by the Venetians with thick round bastions, and utilized as a grim prison by the Ottoman Empire and British colonial administration. Beneath its grand battlements lies a long history of harrowing sieges, royal executions, tortures, and the famous ancient Kyrenia Shipwreck exhibit.
