Description


This is castle built to defend the harbour in yesterdays shot. In 1191 King Richard the Lionheart captured it on his way back from the third Crusade. He then sold it to his cousin Guy de Lusignan the former king of Jerusalen. They could do what they liked in those days if you had an army. It has parts going back to 7th century BC! So its always had a role to protect the town from the many invading armies they suffered.
