Kolossi Castle is a former Crusader stronghold on the south-west edge of Kolossi village, 14 kilometres west of Limassol on Cyprus. The original castle was possibly built in 1210 by the Frankish military, when King Hugh I gave the land to the Knights Hospitaller. The present three-storey square keep, with an attached bailey, was built in 1454 by the Hospitallers under Commander Louis de Magnac, whose coat-of-arms is carved into its walls.
