On the exact place a 13th-century church was gradually transformed into the fort we see today. However, until its final form, edifices of distinct roles occupied the site. In chronological order these are a Byzantine basilica, the aforementioned church, a defensive tower (réduit), storage cellars, prison cells, a police station and finally a monument and museum in recent times. The continuous transition of the role of buildings on the site mirror the political upheaval of Cyprus' history throughout the centuries.","Το κάστρο Λεμεσού βρίσκεται σε κοντινή απόσταση από το παλαιό λιμάνι της πόλης και θεωρείται ως ένα αρχιτεκτονικά πολύπλοκο μνημείο. Σήμερα λειτουργεί ως μουσείο, φιλοξενώντας τη μεσαιωνική συλλογή του Τμήματος Αρχαιοτήτων και αποτελεί σημείο αναφοράς για τη πόλη. Λόγω της συνεχούς χρήσης του, σχετικά πρόσφατα δόθηκε η ευκαιρία να μελετηθεί διεξοδικά. Όπως φαίνεται από τα αρχαιολογικά τεκμήρια, οι ερευνητές διέκριναν ίχνη κτηρίων διαφορετικών σκοπών και λειτουργιών ανά περιόδους όπως ένας Γοτθικός ναός, ένας πύργος, χώροι αποθήκευσης, κελιά φυλακών, αστυνομικός σταθμός και, φυσικά, μουσείο στη σημερινή εποχή. Ωστόσο οι διάφορες ερμηνείες και ο διάλογος ανάμεσα στους ερευνητές είναι ακόμα ανοικτός."]},{"label":"Creator","value":["Pattichion Municipal Museum, Historical Archive and Research Centre","Παττίχειον Δημοτικό Μουσείο, Ιστορικό Αρχείο και Κέντρο Μελετών"]},{"label":"Source","value":["Pattichion Municipal Museum, Historical Archive and Research Centre","Παττίχειον Δημοτικό Μουσείο, Ιστορικό Αρχείο και Κέντρο Μελετών"]},{"label":"Publisher","value":["Library of Cyprus University of Technology","Digital Heritage Research Lab of Cyprus University of Technology"]},{"label":"Contributor","value":["Pattichion Municipal Museum, Historical Archive and Research Centre","Παττίχειον Δημοτικό Μουσείο, Ιστορικό Αρχείο και Κέντρο Μελετών"]},{"label":"Rights","value":""},{"label":"Relation","value":"Photograph of the Interior of Limassol Castle
