Kantara Castle, North Cyprus. The castle was originally built by the Byzantines in the 10th century as protection against Saracen invaders but was enlarged and remodelled by the Lusignans. In 1191, Isaac Comnenus, the ruler of Cyprus, sought refuge in the castle when Richard the Lionheart landed on Cyprus.
