KOLOSSI MEDIEVAL CASTLE
Kolossi Castle is situated in the village of Kolossi, 11 kilometres west of Lemesos. It was built in the 15th century on the ruins of a former fortress dated to the beginning of the 13thcentury. Some of these ruins can still be seen east of the present castle. The castle belonged to the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem and was the seat of the most important of the Commanderies that belonged to them. For a few years in the 14th century, it came under the control of the Knights Templar.

THE CASTLE OF LIMASSOL
The Castle of Limassol as it appears today A is a structure rebuilt under the Turkish domination (19th century). The architectural features of a much more extended Medieval Museum have been included.
The oldest report on the existence of the Castle of Limassol dates back to 1228 when Frederick the Second of Germany and his supporters sent to prison the hostages seized by Ibeline, the king regent of Cyprus. This Castle was likely to be an ancient Byzantine Castle or the one that took its place over the early Frankish period. According to Stephen Lusignan, Guy de Lusignan had the original Castle built in 1193. This original fort, if it really existed, has not yet been localized by the archaeologists. It is more likely to have been given up to the knights for administration purposes on behalf of the crown in 1308.
THE CYPRUS MEDIEVAL MUSEUM
When the Cyprus central prison cells were transferred to Nicosia, the Castle of Limassol was declared an archaeological site and a cultural monument. It was therefore given to the Department of Antiquities to be used as a Regional Archaeological Museum where only one technician was initially employed. It remained closed after the 1963 conflicts until 1974 when the National Guard used it as an outpost.
