Paphos Castle (Κάστρο της Πάφου) in Paphos, Cyprus.One of the two Frankish towers remained in ruins since the end of the 15th century A.D., when it was destroyed by an earthquake. Just before the Ottoman conquest of 1570, the Venetians destroyed what was left of the two towers with the use of explosives, in accordance with their decision to base the defense of the island on three towns of Famagusta, Lefkosia and Kyrenia. What survives today is the Ottoman restoration of the western Frankish tower, its Venetian additions and the remains of the second tower at a distance of 50m, to the east. Paphos Castle - Paphos Castle (Κάστρο της Πάφου) in Paphos, Cyprus.One of the two Frankish towers remained in ruins since the end of the 15th century A.D., when it was destroyed by an earthquake.

View of Paphos Castle. The remains of the tower, incorporated into the Ottoman building, belonged to one of two towers erected by the Frankish rulers of Cyprus, after the destructive earthquake of 1222 A.D. The two towers were interconnected by a curtain wall. When the Genoese captured the fort in 1373 A.D., they raised the height of its walls and shaped the moat, simply by cutting part of the mole which provides access from the seaward tower to the shore.

Paphos Castle: the small fort which stands on the ancient mole at the western part of the port of Nea Pafos was included in the coastal defensive system of Cyprus. It is in fact a Frankish tower within a Venetian wall. After its destruction, it was restored by the Ottomans in 1592 A.D., according to the inscription above the only entrance. It seems that roughly on the same site, there were earlier Byzantine fortifications mentioned by Ayios Neofytos.
