St. Hilarion Castle in Kyrenia, North Cyprus. It is estimated that it was built in the 11th century. St. Hilarion Castle was originally built as a watch tower to give warning of approaching Arab pirates who launched a continuous series of raids on Cyprus and the coasts of Anatolia. The castle is built on the peak of a mountain, which has a spectacular view of the north coast of cyprus. It has rock foundations as the mountain is made out of rock and marble. The openings in walls are mainly arched openings.
