The Western Karpas Peninsula

Kantara Castle

Kantara Castle, the easternmost of the three castles situated on the Kyrenia Mountain range, well positioned to control the entrances to Karpas Peninsula and Mesaoria plain. It is believed that the Byzantines built it in the 10th century as a lookout post against raiding Arabs. The first historical mention of the castle is in connection with Richard the Lionheart’s capture of Cyprus in 1191.
