Historical Places İnformation Kyrenia Castle Kyrenia Castle has been standing since the 7th Century and many believe it was built to protect the town against raids from the Arab lands. Throughout the centuries, Kyrenia Castle has undergone many restorations especially during the Lusignan period. Built during an era of knights and archery the castle was designed with this in mind. During reconstruction in 1489 the castle was remodelled to co-inside with the artillery era. Two towers were also added but in 1570 the castle was once again under seige and taken over by the Ottomans. Like any castle built for protection, Kyrenia castle is entered via a bridge built over a moat which was until the 1400’s filled with water. Inside Kyrenia castle you will find a Byzantian church and the tomb of the Ottoman Admiral, Sadik Pasha. There are also the towers, dungeons, an arsenal, a cannon parapet, and the shipwreck museum St.

    Re-Use of Historic Buildings in North Cyprus

    Re-use of historic buildings in North Cyprus G. Ozay1 & N. Ozay2 1Department of Civil Engineering, Eastern Mediterranean University, Magusa, N. Cyprus 2Department of Architecture, Eastern Mediterranean University, Magusa, N. Cyprus Abstract Buildings are the living organisms that are affected by the rapid changes of the world. If they lose their functions or are not maintained, they can die. However, it is possible to re-use these historic buildings according to the changing conditions of contemporary life with the help of technology. In this way, it can be possible to preserve and revitalize the historic witnesses to provide references for further designs. Cyprus is an island at the crossroads of three continents; Europe, Asia and Africa. Thus, the island has achieved combining different cultures in its body and reflecting them in its architecture. Its rich architectural heritage has been composed layer by layer as the history moved from century to century. There are lots of monuments from different periods that were rehabilitated and used for various functions. On this basis, the aim of the study is to discuss re-use of the historic buildings in Northern Cyprus. The argument of the study is presented in two sections. Firstly, different architectural periods are discussed with their specific examples, which have been converted into new uses. This creates a base and presents the general structure of its architectural heritage. It starts with the beginning of the Roman Period (58 BC-330AD) and comes until the end of British Period (1878-1960). Then, related to the first stage, the general re-use strategies and processes are presented.

It wasn’t long before they became inseparable. Travelling quickly emerged as their favourite activity: they had their first walking holiday in Madeira in 2008 and now wherever they go they try to find the best trails. When they first visited Cyprus they were mesmerised by the diverse scenery, but dis- covered that information about trails was difficult to find and walking maps were not available. Having collected the best routes, they want to share their passion for walking on this fascinating island with others. Nike went to journalism school and Jacint is a keen photographer. In 2016 they moved from London to Surrey where they can enjoy the coun- tryside and hills. 837 Walking In Cyprus.indd 2 19/07/2017 11:11 WALKING IN CYPRUS 44 WALKS IN THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH by Nike Werstroh and Jacint Mig JUNIPER HOUSE, MURLEY MOSS, OXENHOLME ROAD, KENDAL, CUMBRIA LA9 7RL www.cicerone.co.uk 837 Walking In Cyprus.indd 3 19/07/2017 11:11 © Nike Werstroh and Jacint Mig 2017 First edition 2017 ISBN: 978 1 85284 837 8 Printed by KHL Printing, Singapore A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library.
