Limassol - Kolossi Castle Kolóssi
Surrounded by rich orchards and 6mi/10km west of the city of Limassol, stands the massive Kolossi Castle, built in 1210 by the Knights of St John.
The castle is a fine example of military architecture. It was originally constructed in the 13th century and subsequently rebuilt in its present form in the middle of the 15th century. It served as the Grand Commandery of the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. In the 14th century it came under the domain of the Knights Templar.
