SIGOURI CASTLE

Ground plan

Sigouri Castle was built a few metres to the south of the Pedieos river and to the east of a road which runs from Larnaca to the Karpas peninsula. It was in the shape of a perfect rectangle (see ground plan) measuring 60 metres by 50 metres; the longer axis is parallel to the river. At each corner there was a square tower measuring on the inside 4.4 to 4.5 metres by 3.5 to 4.10 metres. The walls were apparently 1.2 metres thick.
