Limassol Castle, Archaeological museum in Limassol, Cyprus.
The Ottoman-style castle features fortified walls, towers, and chambers constructed with limestone blocks, situated near the old harbor of Limassol.
The castle underwent reconstruction in 1590 during Ottoman rule, incorporating elements from earlier structures dating back to the Early Christian period.
The museum displays collections of medieval pottery, tombstones, weapons, coins, and jewelry that represent different periods of Cypriot history.
The castle museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the medieval architecture.
The underground chambers and first floor served as prison cells until 1950, when the building transformed into an archaeological museum.
