Larnaca Castle Tickets & Tours

Larnaca Castle is a castle located on the southern coast of Cyprus. It was constructed to defend the southern coast of Cyprus and the harbor town of Larnaca and was later used as an artillery station, prison, and museum. Larnaca has been inhabited since the 14th century B.C. when the Mycenaean-Achaeans Greeks founded a small town. Much later, the Byzantines constructed a small fort near its harbor. It is not clear when the Byzantine fort was first built but archeological research carried out around the castle suggests that initial construction started in the late 12th century AD.
