Saint Hilarion Castle - Kyrenia (Northern Cyprus)

- The Saint Hilarion Castle lies on the Kyrenia mountain range, in Cyprus near Kyrenia (Girne). This location provided the castle with command of the pass road from Kyrenia to Nicosia. It is the best preserved ruin of the three former strongholds in the Kyrenia mountains, the others being Kantara and Buffavento.
Saint Hilarion was originally a monastery, named after a monk who allegedly chose the site for his hermitage, with a monastery and a church built there in the 10th century. Starting in the 11th century, the Byzantines began fortification. Saint Hilarion formed the defense of the island with the castles of Buffavento and Kantara against Arab pirates raiding the coast. Some sections were further upgraded under the Lusignan rule, who may have used it as a summer residence. During the rule of Lusignans, the castle was the focus of a four-year struggle between Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and Regent John d' Ibelin for control of Cyprus.
The castle has three divisions or wards. The lower and middle wards served economic purposes, while the upper ward housed the royal family. The lower ward had the stables and the living quarters for the men-at-arms. The Prince John tower sits on a cliff high above the lower castle. The church lies on the middle ward. The upper ward was reserved for the Royals and can be entered via a well-preserved archway. Farm buildings are located in the west close to the royal apartments. Along the western wall, there is a scenic view of the northern coast of Cyprus, overlooking the city of Kyrenia (Girne), from the Queen's Window.

All this it belongs to Cypriot people!!! NOT THE TURKISH!!!!! ITS DISGRACE TO HAVE A TURKISH FLAG ON THE KERYNIAS CASTLE!!!!!
Yiannis Bambarakos you like drinking the water that’s sent over to you from turkey that’s a disgrace
Yiannis Bambarakos what kind flag you were expecting !! From 1963 to 1974 what you did to Turks now you are paying for it !! Don’t try to play innocent 😇 mr Bambarakos !! Regards !!
@@zekihakki2117 what turks did is way worse, be afraid of punishments that are coming slowly
Since when did the Greek Cypriots ever have a true war and conquered the island? How they can claim it is beyond reality, the last conqueror of the island was Sultan Selim, who freed you from the hands of the Venetians, if it was not for him you may not be alive today.
@ pfft
You know that this place is occupied by Turkish army since 1974... They attacked us with no reason on July the 20th in 1974...
Savvas Do you know what E.O.K.A and E.N.O.S.I.S is? Don't think you are clean or poor Turks come and bring peaceful for both side Turkish Cypriots and Greeks.
@@mayaa6438 What we are taught at school is that EOKA was against the British, not the Turkish Cypriots.. As for Enosis we are taught nothing at school about it! This is the truth about education in the south.. I know personally what happened, though we are not taught at school about that, we just say that there was a military coup against Makarios on July the 15th by the Greek military reign and that gave the opportunity to the Turks to invade the island and seize the one third of it... My question was a kind of experiment to check out the reactions by the Turkish Cypriots...
So you saying eoka and enosis was clean and good plan? I don't care what your schools saying. Both plan are claimed by ortadocts church and it was clear plan clean British then Turkish Cypriots even Greeks who against your dirty plans. Research internet is not hard to find; "Crete, Enosis, Freedom or Death". The Cretan State was established following the intervention of the Great Powers, and Cretan union with Greece occurred de facto in 1908 and de jure in 1913 through the Treaty of Bucharest."
You make plans and didn't seccesful and now cry for what? It's to late for this one and be careful for next one.
Thanks Turkey fir bring peaceful life for both Turkish Cypriots and greak cypiots. No dirty plans no killing.
You should thank too, becouse church mistakes cause you lost but not all'you still existing'
No, I don't say it was a good plan! Unfortunately some people Greek and Turkish Cypriot paid for those mistakes, and oufcourse for the church... My father is from Esentepe and owns some lands there... I don't have any demands to go back, but I would like to have a cottage there if our relationships were good.. @@toomee37
