Located in the heart of Limassol, this fortress has witnessed the rise and fall of empires. It served as a military stronghold, a prison, and a symbol of power throughout the centuries.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Marriage of Richard to Berengaria of Navarre<\/span><\/h2><p>The origins of Limassol Castle date back to the Byzantine period, around the 10th century. The current structure likely stands on the remains of an earlier Byzantine fortress. In 1191, King Richard the Lionheart of England captured the castle during the Third Crusade. He married Berengaria of Navarre here, and she was crowned Queen of England in the castle\u2019s chapel. This event marked a significant moment in the castle\u2019s history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d460d8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6d460d8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de37036 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"de37036\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a22550 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a22550\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Critical Point of Defence<\/span><\/h2><p>During the Lusignan period (1192\u20131489), the castle underwent major renovations and expansions. The Lusignans, a Frankish dynasty ruling Cyprus, fortified the structure. Its strategic coastal location made it a key defence point against naval invasions and pirate raids.<\/p><p>In the Venetian period (1489\u20131571), the castle saw further modifications. The Venetians reinforced its walls and added bastions to withstand artillery attacks. Despite these efforts, the Ottoman Turks captured the castle in 1571, ushering in a new era.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-868e422 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"868e422\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3b65db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3b65db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/anatolikilemesou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Limassol-Castle.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1990\" alt=\"Limassol Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anatolikilemesou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Limassol-Castle.jpg 960w, https:\/\/anatolikilemesou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Limassol-Castle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anatolikilemesou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Limassol-Castle-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af6b7a9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"af6b7a9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de2b530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de2b530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under Ottoman Rule<\/span><\/h2><p>Under Ottoman rule, the castle served as a garrison and a prison.
