Impressive coastal fortress
Kyrenia Castle的点评
点评：This continued on our private tour from Nicosia and St Hilarion. Our next stop was the castle at Kyrenia and Sedat gave us a tour of the Shipwreck Museum, the Neolithic Museum and the Dungeons before letting us do the wall walk on our own. The shipwreck is a Phoenician trading vessel of the 4th century BC that was wrecked near the harbour and excavated in the late 60s/early 70s. The ship is in the museum, preserved as it was found, alongside its cargo and information on ancient ship building and trade routes. The neolithic museum was a reconstruction of a bronze age tomb excavated nearby and the intact grave goods were on display too. The dungeons had examples of some famous prisoners of the Lusignans, victims of petty power politics in the face of a larger threat. There is a small Byzantine chapel dedicated to St George but it no longer has any frescoes or adornments.
The castle itself used to be surrounded by a wet moat and has a long vaulted corridor leading in to the courtyard. The castle occupies a large area right next to the harbour and was originally a Byzantine fortification before being improved and enlarged by the Lusignans and then significantly expanded by the Venetians. The garrison surrendered it to the Ottomans without a shot being fired in 1570 for some reason. Until recently the inner courtyard was used to hold concerts but there is now a purpose built venue.
Deb and I walked along the walls which gave a better impression of the size and strength of the castle and also views of the cloud shrouded peak of St Hilarion castle. There was a variety of wildflowers growing throughout the castle and also lots of friendly stray dogs.

翻译：从尼科西亚和圣希拉里翁出发的私人旅行继续着我们的旅程。下一站是凯里尼亚城堡，塞达特带领我们参观了沉船博物馆、新石器时代博物馆和地牢，之后让我们自行沿着城墙漫步。沉船是一艘公元前4世纪的腓尼基商船，在港口附近触礁沉没，于20世纪60年代末/70年代初被挖掘出来。这艘船被保存在博物馆中，与船上的货物以及有关古代造船和贸易路线的信息一起，保持着发现时的原貌。新石器时代博物馆是对附近挖掘出的一座青铜时代墓葬的重建，完整的陪葬品也在此展出。地牢里关押着一些卢西尼昂王朝的著名囚犯，他们因面对更大的威胁而沦为权力斗争的牺牲品。城堡里有一座小型拜占庭式教堂，供奉圣乔治，但如今已没有任何壁画或装饰。
城堡本身曾被一条湿润的护城河环绕，一条长长的拱形走廊通向庭院。城堡紧邻港口，占地面积广阔，最初是拜占庭时期的防御工事，后经卢西尼昂王朝修缮扩建，威尼斯人又对其进行了大规模扩建。不知何故，1570年，守军兵不血刃地将城堡拱手让给了奥斯曼帝国。直到不久前，城堡的内院还被用来举办音乐会，但现在已改建为专门的演出场地。
我和黛布沿着城墙漫步，这让我们对城堡的规模和坚固程度有了更深刻的了解，还能远眺云雾缭绕的圣希拉里翁城堡山顶。城堡内遍地盛开着各种野花，还有许多友善的流浪狗。
