Cyprus Medieval Museum
Limassol Castle, built in the 14th century, stands sentinel over
the old harbour on the site of an earlier Byzantine castle. Today
it houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum with a host of fascinating
exhibits dating back to the Early Christian Era (384-650). The
castle is renowned for being the place where Crusader Richard the
Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre, and crowned her Queen of
England in 1191.
