Kolossi Castle - Κάστρο Κολοσσιού
Kolossi Castle is situated in the village of Kolossi, Lemesos (Limassol). It was built in the 15th century on the ruins of a former fortress dated to the beginning of the 13th century.
The castle itself is a 21 metres high square tower with three floors. The ground floor is divided into three parts and was probably used as storeroom. In the middle of the east side is a stone stairway leading first to the second floor, where the kitchen was probably located, and then to the third floor. The third floor was divided into two big halls and was the ‘house’ of the Commander. To the south of the castle there is a courtyard enclosed by walls and the ruins of an auxiliary building, probably a stable or a storehouse. On the southwest corner of that building there was an entrance, protected by a circular tower. Sugarcane refinery installations have been located to the east of the castle.
Το κάστρο του Κολοσσιού βρίσκεται στο χωριό Κολόσσι Λεμεσού. Χτίστηκε τον 15ον αιώνα στα ερείπια ενός παλιότερου φρουρίου που χρονολογείται από τις αρχές του 13ου αιώνα.
Το κάστρο είναι 21 μέτρων ύψους, τετράγωνο και με τρεις ορόφους. Το ισόγειο χωρίζεται σε τρία μέρη και πρέπει να χρησίμευε για αποθηκευτικός χώρος. Στο μέσο της ανατολικής πλευράς υπάρχει μια πέτρινη σκάλα που οδηγεί πρώτα στο δεύτερο όροφο, όπου πιθανόν να βρισκόταν η κουζίνα και μετά στον τρίτο όροφο. Ο τρίτος όροφος ήταν χωρισμένος σε δύο μεγάλες αίθουσες και ήταν το «σπίτι» των Διοικητών. Στα νότια του κάστρου υπάρχει μια αυλή περιτριγυρισμένη από τείχη και τα ερείπια ενός βοηθητικού κτηρίου, μάλλον στάβλου ή αποθήκης. Στην νοτιοδυτική γωνία του κτηρίου υπήρχε μια είσοδος, προστατευμένη από έναν κυκλικό πύργο. Εγκαταστάσεις εργαστηρίου επεξεργασίας ζαχαροκάλαμου βρέθηκαν στα ανατολικά του κάστρου.
