Located at the end of the Foinikoudes promenade, the Medieval Castle of Larnaka (also referred to as Larnaka Fort) is believed to have been originally built during the Middle Ages, and took its present form during Ottoman rule, although there is some contestation regarding its origins. Chronographer Florius Boustronius dates it to the years of Lusignan King James I (1382-1398AD), who built it to protect the harbour of the town. During the same time, the Genovese occupied Famagusta and the Lusignans had to develop another major port for the needs of their kingdom. 18th century sources insist that the castle was built by the Turks in 1625AD, even though a Turkish garrison was stationed there

Located at the end of the Finikoudes pedestrian street, it is believed that the medieval castle of Larnaca (also referred to as Larnaca Fortress) was originally built during the Middle Ages and took its current form during Ottoman rule. After the end of the Ottoman era in Cyprus, the British turned the fortress into a prison and it was used during the first years of their rule. The western chamber on the ground floor to the east was used to execute the detainees. The gallows - which must have been made in the room - were in use until 1948.
