Description
This is castle built to defend the harbour in yesterdays shot. In 1191 King Richard the Lionheart captured it on his way back from the third Crusade. He then sold it to his cousin Guy de Lusignan the former king of Jerusalen. They could do what they liked in those days if you had an army.
It has parts going back to 7th century BC! So its always had a role to protect the town from the many invading armies they suffered.

Stunning sight and capture my friend.
I lived for three years in Paphos (the greek side of Cyprus) & Paphos has also something simular to this at the harbour. Wonderful capture!!!
Fabulous clouds! what a lovely pic.
Great light and clarity! The enlarged image shows scale better, that is a massive place!
Wonderful historical image.

Very cool! The history that is present in this shot is awe-inspiring and a bit humbling. Nice photo.
A super capture of this very impressive castle and the clouds look so pretty.
