Bufavento Castle

Bufavento Castle, with St. Hilarion and Kantara Castle, is the part of a chain of the warning system which was composed for the aim of defending the island against Arabians. The castle was built on a windy hill, “Bufavento” word which means “ not afraid of the wind” was given to the castle. Although the exact building time was not known, the time of lion hearted Richard’s invasion of Cyprus is thought. According to some rumor, the daughter of Isac Commenus who declares himself as the king of Cyprus went out of this castle and surrendered to Richard. As the other castles’ stories, Bufavento has a story related to the Queen who reigned in Cyprus once upon a time. There was a story related to Byzantine Princess and her dog that caught into the leprous illness when Cyprus was in the reign of Templar Knights. Princess and her dog were kept in the castle. Then princess realized that the skin of her dog was getting beter and one day,princess saw her dog while it was bathing in a source beside of the castle. So princess went to this source and had a bath. After she had recovered wholly, she made the Ayios Ionnis Chrysostomos Monastery built instead of the source.

The castle was used as a prison among 1382-1398. The name of the castle was Lion Castle in this term. When the island was in the reign of Venetians in 1489, the castle lost its old importance. Venetians gave importance mostly to the castles on the sea sides.

Shipwreck Museum

The wreck which has been exhibiting in Kyrenia Castle, is known as the oldest ship wrecks that were found up to now. It belongs to the terms that Hellenistic kingdoms were founded after Alexander’s death in Mediterranean and Hellenistic navy ships were wandering. The wreck was realized by a sponge fisherman 1.5 km far from Kyrenia sides and in 3 km depth of the sea. The shipwreck which was removed by Pennsylvania University is open to see. This museum is opened for visiting March 3, 1976 after Lusinian guardian rooms which were on the east of Kyrenia Castle, were arrenged.

This old ship sank because of the storm that was caught in the open sea 300 B.C. The carbon 14 tests which were applied to the almond ruins showed 288 B.C. The carbon 14 tests which were applied to the wood of the ship showed 398 B.C.

St. Hilarion Castle

The caste took it name from a Saint who migrated to Cyprus after the invasion of Kudüs by Arabians and lived the last days of his life by praying. Then it is observed that a castle and a monastery were built in 10. century. St. Hilarion Castle which is 700 m. High from the sea level was built on a twins point. Although the certain building date of the castle is unknown, it is known that the castle was built for the aim of keeping and contolling of the island from the Arabian invasions came from north in 10 A.C. However it is suggested that it is modern with Bufavento, Kantara and Kyrenia Castles. The information about the castle which suggests that the island is a Byzantine built and was invaded by an English King Richard in 1191 is stil valid. Although some historical resources claim about the castle that Emperor II. Frederic wanted to dominate Cyprus in 1128.

They had built circle walls which are 500 metres and 9 towers. The castle consists of three main parts with each of its water store and supply stores. One of them is the one which is at the buttom is Lower Castle and it was built fort he horses and soldiers. It was started with a defence place surrounded by circle walls which keeps the main entrance. There was a place of monastery and Saint’s place in the Middle Castle. There were palace rooms, king palace and kitchen in the Higher Castle. The Venetians demolished the castle because they had no power to keep the castle to hinder the invasion of the castle by Ottoman Empire. After that event the castle was not used for the military aim until 1964. after the invasions of Greek in 1964, Turkish freedom fighters settled to the castle and kept the castle to evaluate the strategic location of the castle. Greeks set back by skimpy freedom fighters.

The castle is located in the northerneast of Kyrenia and it was dominated to the port and built on a rectangular plan. The ancient resources claim that while English King Richard The Lion-hearted attended to the third Crusader War, he overcame Cyprus King Isak Komnen and took the dominance of Cyprus. The certain building date of the island has not been established up to now but the researches made around the castle shows that the castle was built in III. and II. Centuries B.C.

It is supposed that the Kyrenia Castle which is one of the rare remainders of the country was built by Byzantines to save the Kyrenia from Arabians’ lasting invasions. The castle changed by the term of Lusinian. The last form of the castle was done in the term of Venetians and it has come to now with its that form.

The residents of the castle which was surrounded by Ottoman in 1570, surrendered without using the power of the castle so they took an important role to keep the castle until now. The hanging bridge of the castle was demolished in the term of Ottoman and the current bridge was built.

The castle was used as a police college after 1946 then it was used as a prison by English to imprison Greeks and with the Cyprus Peace Operation the castle belongs to Turks.
