Kolossi Castle, a former crusader stronghold from the late 12th century, stands as a testament to Cyprus’s medieval history. Built during the 13th century by the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of St. John, the castle features a three-story tower that rises prominently against the skyline. This imposing structure, one of the more striking remnants from the island’s past, offers visitors a glimpse into the strategic and defensive architecture of the time. Today, guests can explore the castle’s robust stone walls and climb the tower for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
