#740 Inside Pafos Castle

Inside Pafos Castle, Paphos, Cyprus

About this stone

You immediately feel the history wrapped around you the moment you enter: thick stone walls, narrow staircases, and tiny windows that once watched over the harbor. Built originally by the Byzantines and later rebuilt by the Lusignans and Ottomans, this castle has survived centuries of pirates, wars, and even earthquakes. From the top, the views of the harbor and sea are breathtaking—a vantage point that has witnessed countless chapters of Mediterranean history.
