    Went to this, which is worth a little trip, not just for the castle, but for the old town with lovely little side streets and bars. We got to the castle, just before it closed, so would recommend going earlier.

    From the outside the castle seems very sober but the inside makes it worth a visit. Its rooms are used to display a collection of local medieval art, including a lot of carved tombstones, weapons, stones reliefs from churches, but also some islamic art. I regret not learning more on the history of Limassol there, also the display of the artworks is quite outdated and should give more informations on the art. On top of the castle, the terrace gives a nice view over the historic center and the sea.

    Very nice part of history right in the middle of town. We stumbled on this and it was worth the entrance fee which was cheap. My kids enjoyed learning about the history of the castle and area. We’ll organized and laid out with tons of information.

    It was a nice experience close to the pier and Limassol marina. There are fragments from different places you can see and a lovely view from the roof. The entrance fee is €4.50 which is very reasonable to maintain the castle. It is not recommended for people with a wheelchair due to the steep steps as there are levels.

    Nice museum with a small, but interesting collection of items - architecture, marble, ceramics, bronze, and weapons. I'd recommend putting more detailed explanations. Good view from the roof. Moderate price.

    Thw castle is the Medieval museum of Cyprus and houses alit of exhibits from around the island for that period. Look out for the signs of an earlier Byzantine church that it was there from the 10th to 11th century which the cadtle was incorporated around it. Have been here many years ago, which a lot ha schanged from then to now. A lot more exhibits is on shoe in a very good order. It was great to see that most of the exhibits had a description on them both in Greek and Engish. There are a lot of stairs so is mot suitable for wheelchair users. A pus point it was the view from the roof top. If you in Limassol is wortha visit so you get to knowwhatit was before and what it was used for.

    Small fort but very reasonably priced entrance. Has lots to see and read about the history of this place. Well maintained and well setup. Located in a beautiful part of town with lots of restaurants around and small souvenir shops.

  • 5/5 Dobromir A. 4 months ago on Google
    Very well preserved castle in the heart of Limassol. There are a few levels and many artifacts on each one of them. Going up the stairs to the rooftop is a must as from there you have a wonderful view of big part of Limassol.

  • 5/5 Emmanuelle Caumont (Ask Frenchie - R. 6 months ago on Google
    The castle visit came as a delightful surprise, providing us with an opportunity not only to explore a medieval fortress, but also to immerse ourselves in the rich history of the V and VI centuries. We were mesmerized by the vast collection of antiquities on display - ranging from exquisite dishes and everyday tools like scissors and tweezers, to an impressive arsenal of weapons. The site also featured significant tomb monuments, breathing with ancient stories, and spectacular frescoes, along with painted stone mural pieces boasting well-preserved colors. This educational tour proved to be an unforgettable experience indeed.

    A very well preserved and restored medieval castle. It contains important artifacts from the history and religion of the wonderful island of Cyprus. A very interesting experience about the Knights Templar and more. It's worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Brian G. 2 years ago on Google
    A great old castle to visit, only 4,5 Euros entry fee..Also right near the harbour .

  • 5/5 Martin D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one place that you can see different type of building. It is very interesting to go under and see all the rooms and corridors, you can even go on the roof and enjoy beautiful 360 view. You can always see the difference between town with history than any new towns. I recommend visiting the place and the entrance fee is just 4.5 euros so it is less than good double espresso with milk but you will have much better memories. Enjoy.

    Just a friendly reminder: don‘t go there in the summer, it’s way too hot! Regarding the castle experience, it was exciting, but nothing spectacular.
