  • Cover photo description:
  • Kolossi Castle - a former Crusader stronghold on the south-west edge of Kolossi village 14 kilometres 9 mi west of the city of Limassol on the island of Cyprus. It held great strategic importance in the Middle Ages, and contained large facilities for the production of sugar from the local sugarcane, one of Cyprus`s main exports in the period. The original castle was possibly built in 1210 by the Frankish military, when the land of Kolossi was given to the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem Hospitallers. The present castle was built in 1454 by the Hospitallers under the Commander of Kolossi, Louis de Magnac, whose coat-of-arms can be seen carved into the castle`s walls.
