Kyrenia Castle – A Journey Through Cyprus’ Coastal History
Kyrenia Castle, also known as Girne Castle, stands proudly at the entrance of Kyrenia Harbour and is one of Northern Cyprus’ most iconic historical sites. Originally built during the Byzantine period and later expanded by the Venetians and Ottomans, the fortress has played a central role in the island’s defense for centuries.
