Kolossi Castle
Outside the city of Lemesos, Kolossi Castle, a Crusader fortress of the Knights of St. John that was constructed in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 15th, towers over a landscape of vineyards. It's accessible by a short drawbridge that was originally defended by a parapet high above, through which defenders would pour molten lead or boiling oil on the heads of unwanted visitors. A spiral staircase leads up to the roof and the restored battlements.
