St. Hilarion Castle to Close to Visitors From November 30 for Reinforcement Works
St. Hilarion Castle will be closed to visitors from November 30 due to reinforcement works. No visitors will be admitted during the works, which are expected to take approximately 270 days.
St. Hilarion Castle, one of Cyprus’s iconic landmarks and among the most important examples of medieval architecture, will be closed to visitors from November 30 due to reinforcement works.
In a written statement, the Department of Antiquities and Museums said that technical inspections and on-site observations conducted by specialist personnel had identified structural deterioration at the castle that had recently reached a critical level.
The statement said urgent reinforcement was considered essential at points posing a risk of collapse and threatening the safety of visitors and the historic structure.
It also emphasised that only authorised personnel would be allowed onto the site during the works, which are expected to last 270 days, and that visitor access would be temporarily suspended.
