EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Keep of Kolossi Castle, a former crusader stronghold built by the knights of St John of Jerusalem in the 15th century, stands tall and proud against the clear blue sky. This magnificent architectural marvel showcases the grandeur and strength that characterized medieval fortifications. The castle's imposing facade dominates the landscape, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Its solid stone walls bear witness to centuries of history, with each brick telling its own story. The low angle view from which this photo was taken accentuates the sheer size and power of this fortress. As one gazes upon this remarkable structure, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an era when knights roamed these halls, defending their order and protecting their land. The Knights Hospitaller were renowned for their bravery and chivalry during the Crusades, making Kolossi Castle a symbol of their noble legacy. The vibrant colors captured in this print bring life to every detail - from the weathered stones to the lush green surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, there is still beauty to be found within these ancient walls. This photograph by CM Dixon transports us on a visual journey through time; it allows us to appreciate both the architectural prowess displayed in constructing such a formidable fortress and also offers us glimpses into an era filled with tales of valor and honor.
