Contrary to what many believe, Limassol's history is relatively short compared to other towns in Cyprus. Its first settlement dates to the Third Crusade, after Richard the Lionheart destroyed the ancient city in 1191.

Cyprus has several reserves and zoos: Paphos Zoo, Limassol Zoo, and Camel Park. Visiting them is a great plan, especially when you do it as a family. Here we tell you what they are and what is the highlight of each of them. Today, zoos are no longer just entertainment venues and serve essential functions in the conservation of species. They have adapted their structure to teach their visitors about conservationism, creating greater awareness about the plant's preservation. Also, they are centers for animal rescue and genetic conservation, among other qualities.

Kolossi Castle is one of the most striking fortresses from the medieval era of Cyprus. The Order of Malta began its construction in the 13th century. The original castle was destroyed at the beginning of the 15th century, and the existing building was built over its ruins in 1454.
