It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing.

Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

Title A name given to the resource Limassol Castle Subject The topic of the resource antiquities (object genre) castles (fortifications) coastal fortifications fortifications forts monuments castle historic building Description An account of the resource The Limassol castle consists of a palimpsest of structures. 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 Gothic church, a defensive tower (réduit), storage cellars, prison cells, a police station and finally an archaeological site 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. Due to the fact that the castle area operates as a focal point of Limassol town in a manifold way, attracted the interest of photographers in the past century. 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 μια Πρωτοχριστιανική βασιλική, ένας Γοτθικός ναός, ένας πύργος, χώροι αποθήκευσης, κελιά φυλακών, αστυνομικός σταθμός και, φυσικά, αρχαιολογικός χώρος και μουσείο στη σημερινή εποχή. Ωστόσο οι διάφορες ερμηνείες και ο διάλογος ανάμεσα στους ερευνητές είναι ακόμα ανοικτός. Η περιοχή του κάστρου ανέκαθεν αποτελούσε κέντρο είτε διασκέδασης, είτε εμπορίου της πόλης της Λεμεσού, γεγονός που, κατά τον προηγούμενο αιώνα, προσέλκυε το ενδιαφέρον των φωτογράφων.

Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing. Το κάστρο Κολοσσίου είναι Μεσαιωνικό φρούριο το οποίο χρονολογείται στον 15ο αιώνα μ.Χ. και οικοδομήθηκε με χορηγία του Louis de Magnac, Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου του Τάγματος των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών. Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

Title A name given to the resource Video showing tourists visiting archaeological sites all around Cyprus, including the Kolossi castle Description An account of the resource Kolossi castle is a medieval castle built in the 15th century A.D. It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing.

Title A name given to the resource History of Paphos castle Subject The topic of the resource antiquities (object genre) castles (fortifications) coastal fortifications forts monuments fortifications castle historic building Description An account of the resource Paphos castle has been a declared Ancient Monument since 1935 and a UNESCO World Heritage List monument, along with other monuments of the archaeological park of Paphos, since 1980. It is located in the harbour area of Paphos town and its main role was to control the gateway of the port and provide defence against any hostile troops . Most scholars agree upon the mid-/late-14th century as its date of erection by the Frankish ruling family of the Lusignans, despite there being no solid and reliable testimonies regarding any fortification works carried out between the earthquake of 1222 and the invasion of the Genoese in 1373. Its importance lies in the symbolic meaning as the most prominent and dominant archaeological monument of Paphos and therefore it is considered a landmark for tourists and the town itself. The castle adorns several types of media such as photographs, postcards, postage stamps and gravures. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing. Το κάστρο της Πάφου αποτελεί ανακηρυγμένο Αρχαίο Μνημείο από το 1935 και Μνημείο Παγκόσμιας Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς της ΟΥΝΕΣΚΟ από το 1980, μαζί με άλλα μνημεία του αρχαιολογικού πάρκου της Πάφου. Κατέχει δεσπόζουσα θέση στο λιμάνι της πόλης και είχε ως κύριες λειτουργίες του, αφενός, τον έλεγχο του λιμανιού και, αφετέρου, την προστασία από οποιαδήποτε εχθρικά στρατεύματα. Η πλειονότητα των ερευνητών συμφωνεί ότι το κάστρο ανεγέρθηκε γύρω στα μέσα/τέλη του 14ου αιώνα από την Φράγκικη οικογένεια των Λουζινιανών, βασιλέων της Κύπρου, παρότι δεν υπάρχουν αξιόπιστες πηγές που να επιβεβαιώνουν την ανέγερση οποιασδήποτε μορφής οχυρωματικών έργων στη Πάφο ανάμεσα στον καταστροφικό σεισμό του 1222 και την εισβολή των Γενουατών το 1373 . Σήμερα το κάστρο θεωρείται το πλέον αναγνωρίσιμο και κυρίαρχο αρχαιολογικό κατάλοιπο της Πάφου και επομένως θεωρείται ορόσημο τόσο για τους τουρίστες όσο και την ίδια την πόλη. Για τον λόγο αυτό το κάστρο διακοσμεί αρκετά εικονιστικά μέσα όπως φωτογραφίες, καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα και γκραβούρες. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing. Το κάστρο Κολοσσίου είναι Μεσαιωνικό φρούριο το οποίο χρονολογείται στον 15ο αιώνα μ.Χ. και οικοδομήθηκε με χορηγία του Louis de Magnac, Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου του Τάγματος των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών. Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

Abstract A summary of the resource. The 2D and 3D drawings of the Kolossi Castle. The data process of the laser scanner allows us to generate a point cloud. Then, the point cloud results have been imported in Autodesk Revit program allowing the creation of the 3D model. Finally, the results of the 3D environment have been presented in architectural drawings such as perspectives (D01 – D04), plans (D05 – D08), elevations (D09-D12) and sections (D13-D15). Τα αρχιτεκτονικά σχέδια του Κάστρου Κολοσσίου. Τα δεδομένα που παράγονται από τον σαρωτή λέιζερ τυγχάνουν επεξεργασίας και δημιουργούν το τρισδιάστατο νέφος σημείων.

It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing. Το κάστρο Κολοσσίου είναι Μεσαιωνικό φρούριο το οποίο χρονολογείται στον 15ο αιώνα μ.Χ. και οικοδομήθηκε με χορηγία του Louis de Magnac, Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου του Τάγματος των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών. Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο είναι ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) is defined as a system for modeling historic structures from laser scan and photogrammetric data. In general, the process of implementing HBIM involves a reverse engineering solution whereby parametric objects representing architectural elements are mapped onto laser scan or photogrammetric survey data. This process includes a number of stages to get the final product, starting with collecting and processing of laser/image survey data, identifying historic details from architectural pattern books, building parametric historic components/objects, and finally correlation and mapping of parametric objects onto scan data and the final production of engineering survey drawings and documentation. The product is the creation of full 3D models including details behind the object’s surface concerning its methods of construction and material makeup. The HBIM automatically produces full engineering drawings for the conservation of historic structure and environments, this includes 3D documentation, orthographic projections, sections, details and schedules. Το Μοντέλο Ιστορικών Πληροφοριών Κτιρίου (HBIM) ορίζεται ως μια μεθοδολογία σχεδιασμού και μοντελοποίησης ιστορικών κτιρίων από τεχνολογία σάρωσης λέιζερ και φωτογραμμετρία. Σε γενικές γραμμές, η διαδικασία υλοποίησης του HBIM περιλαμβάνει μια διαδικασία αντίστροφης μηχανικής με την οποία τα παραμετρικά αντικείμενα που αντιπροσωπεύουν αρχιτεκτονικά στοιχεία, χαρτογραφούνται σε δεδομένα σαρωτή λέιζερ ή φωτογραμμετρικά δεδομένα. Αυτή η διαδικασία περιλαμβάνει μια σειρά από στάδια για την μορφοποίηση του τελικού ψηφιακού μοντέλου. Αρχικά η διαδικασία περιλαμβάνει τη συλλογή και επεξεργασία δεδομένων με λέιζερ / εικόνων, τον προσδιορισμό ιστορικών λεπτομερειών από βιβλιογραφία αρχιτεκτονικών προτύπων και την κατασκευή παραμετρικών ιστορικών στοιχείων / αντικειμένων. Στη συνέχεια, η συσχέτιση και χαρτογράφηση των παραμετρικών αντικειμένων σε δεδομένα από σαρωτή δημιουργεί τη ψηφιακή τεκμηρίωση. Το τελικό αποτέλεσμα περιλαμβάνει τη δημιουργία ολιστικού τρισδιάστατου μοντέλου που αντιπροσωπεύει τη μέθοδο κατασκευής, τα υλικά, την ιστορία και πληροφορίες μελλοντικής διατήρησης. Το HBIM παράγει αρχιτεκτονικά σχέδια και λεπτομέρειες για τη προστασία και διατήρηση της ιστορικής αξίας της κατασκευής και του άμεσου περιβαλλόντος του μνημείου.
