Description

DESCRIPTION:

This Byzantine castle lies at Kato Pafos, near the harbour. It was built by the Lusignans at the beginning of the 13th century on the site of a previous Byzantine castle. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1222.
The name Saranta Kolones (Forty columns) derives from the large number of granite columns found spread across this archaeological site.
