ЭТОТ ЗАМОК повидал много крови и выстоял много войн - Кантара • Легенды Северного Кипра

Kantara is a defensive castle in Cyprus, and its history has seen much bloodshed and war. Kantara translates from Arabic as "stone bridge." The exact date of the castle's construction varies widely, but it's believed to be around the 10th century. My name is Anna, your guide on historical trails to the sights of Northern Cyprus. If you love fascinating stories of the past as much as I do, then like this video and join my online tour. Located near the Middle East, Cyprus has always been the target of power struggles. The island's northern mountain range served as a defensive line, as its peaks housed strategically important strongholds—Kantara Castle, Buffavento, and Agios Hilarion. Kantara is located in the eastern part of the mountain range at an altitude of 630 meters. It offers stunning views not only of the eastern edge of Cyprus but even of the Syrian and Lebanese coasts. You can spend the entire day here, absorbing the many details with an inquisitive mind and enjoying the impressive views. I consider a visit to the castle a must-see when exploring the island and its historical sites. I welcome your additions and conclusions in the comments to this video. In the next video in my series, I'll introduce you to the pinnacle of Gothic architecture – Bellapais Abbey. Thanks for watching, and see you there!
