Castle at Kyrenia

The Castle which is built to the North East of Kyrenia
Harbour and is built in a tetragonal shape. The Castle
was first mentioned as late as 1191 A.D. when the
English King ‘Richard the Lionheart’ defeated Isaac
Commenus on his way to the Holy land Crusades.




The Bellapais Monastery
The monastery, one of the unparalleled samples of Gothic
Art, is situated on the flanks of the Five-finger (Kyrenia) Mountains. Its name today derives from the French
"Abbaye de la paix", which means "The Peace Monastery".

The first monastery building was constructed between
1198-1205. Most sections of the building which can be
seen today were built by the French King Hugh III between 1267-1284.


On the right as shown. One of the many ancient
monuments, churches, fortifications and many more
places of interest scattered throughout Northern Cyprus,
which, at one time, was the ‘stepping stone' between
East and West.
