Limassol Travel Guide
Limassol Local History
The area that is now Limassol has been inhabited since around 2000BC. In 1192AD, King Richard the Lionheart landed in Limassol and ended the Byzantine rule of Cyprus. For three centuries, the city prospered as a center for trade with its harbour and many merchants that lived in the city.
The following four centuries were characterised by tragedy and declining prosperity in 1425 the city was devastated by fire from invading Mamelukes who plundered Limassol and neighbouring towns, this was repeated by the Turks in 1570.
Today the town is a popular tourist destination and the industrial center of Cyprus with a bustling port.
