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.

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.
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.
