Paphos castle
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.

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.

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.

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.
