Such a lot to see in this extremely well preserved castle, everything very well displayed and lots of information. Just amazing to see such a lot of seriously ancient artefacts.

Don't let the untended weed filled exterior put you off, this place is a little gem for anyone with an interest in history . Once inside what appears quite a small building from the exterior , there are a wealth of well displayed artefacts on various levels and nooks and crannies ...I particularly loved the earthenware some of which dated back to the 5th century...fabulous views from the roof tops too, would recommend anyone visiting Limassol to take an hour out of their day to visit this gem

The castle is a historical romantic experience where you can walk and take many photos with your friends or family! There are many restaurants, cafes with tasty food in different prices,many shops around castle. A day that we have an amazing time!!

This castle is right in the middle of the old town, Walking distance from the new marina. It's been beautifully restored and at night is even more attractive in the floodlights. Worth a visit.

Many restaurants and cafeterias, good food but little expensive, it is on old town of Limassol, many shops .I love walking around there and have a frappe.

Medieval history comes alive in the substantial old castle, now a museum exhibiting artefacts from all over Cyprus from all ages. A bit daunting if you don't like lots of stairs but worth the climb to see views of Limassol from the battlements. I found that some of the discriptive labels were a bit vague on dates and there was very little about King Richard I which was surprising but it was still worth exploring and cost less that £4.

My husband has been wanting to visit this castle since we arrived and he loved it. Not accessible but then again I've yet to find an old castle that is. They had plenty of servants and horses to get them into and out of the building in those days. If you're into castles this is a great one to see according to himself.

This castle is smack in the middle of the city centre. It's a little strange that they built everything around it, but they did. The entry price is €4.50 per person, which is almost double everything else we did, and having already been to the Kolossi Castle we decided to skip this particular one. There were a couple of cannons on the outside that seemed more decorative, but nothing made us want to buy tickets and cross into the actual interior.

Nice place to visit, lots of things to explore inside...also its good to go there just for a walk on a sunny day and stay for lunch or dinner in one of man cafes and restaurants around the castle

Small entry fee but so much to see and learn. The story of richard lionheart and berengaria was fascinating. Apparently a storm has made them have a terrible journey and they got stranded and saved so he built this castle on the island . Great day out and if you get to the top you will get the best view of the town too

A cute, little medieval castle, located close to happening areas in Limassol, shopping and nightlife. Maintained very well, without losing out the architectural splendour. Great view of harbour, from the rooftop. When we travelled, palace had been used for some high end Italian fashion shoot. It can be rented for special occasions, like parties, corporate events or a lavish dinner.

A unique Medieval castle in Limassol, which is also a museum inside. Many rare items for you to see and learn. Also check the rooftop to see the magnificent view.

Propably without Limassol's lifestyle and nightlife, its castle wouldn't be so important, but a short walk around it, during the night, along the traditional tavernas and restaurant, will help you fall in love with the castle, even though it lacks the history and grandiur of castles in the rest of the Europe.

Great collection of medieval art found in Cyprus. The building is equally impressive and it offers a lovely view over Limassol.

This is more of a museum than anything on the island. But the history is also in the buildings surrounding the castle. The small cafe/restaurants are great!
