Description


Buffavento Castle

Buffavento Castle is in the Kyrenia mountain range, in Northern Cyprus. Its name is Italian and means, “Defier of the Winds”, reflecting that the winds at its location at 950 metres (3,120 ft) above sea level can reach quite a high velocity. The castle is irregular in shape as it makes use of the mountain itself for its defense. Since 1974 the castle is within the occupied side of the island.
