Set among citrus groves just west of Limassol, Kolossi Castle Cyprus may be modest in size, but it holds a powerful place in Cyprus’s medieval story.
Built in the 13th century by the Knights of St. John and later used by the Knights Templar, this square fortress once stood at the center of both military and economic power — especially in the island’s lucrative sugar trade.
