About Saranta Kolones
Saranta Kolones, forty columns castle in Greek, takes its name from ancient granite columns found scattered across the site, likely salvaged from a Roman marketplace. Byzantine builders raised the fort around 700 AD to guard Paphos harbour against Arab raids; the Lusignans later modified it. A 115-foot square courtyard, four corner towers and a horseshoe-shaped gate tower survive within walls nearly ten feet thick. A 1222 earthquake brought it down for good, and it was never rebuilt.
