The Castle of Limassol

The history of this castle dates back to 1228, when Frederick II of Germany and his supporters imprisoned the hostages seized by Ibeline, the King Regent of Cyprus. It is also said that it is an ancient Byzantine castle. This castle also witnessed the marriage between King Richard and his Queen Berengaria.

Today’s structure is mostly rebuilt under the Turkish domination (19th century) and is home to the Cyprus Medieval Museum.
