  • Review this attraction
  • Built in the 11th century for the Lusignan kings and steeped in history, St Hilarion would be the perfect setting for a medieval romance, with its elaborate defences built around steep mountain crags. Legends, indeed, surround it, including tales of a hidden treasure-room, an enchanted garden, and stories of Byzantine treachery and medieval intrigue. It was last occupied in the 16th century by the Venetians.

Practical Information
Open Jun–Oct: 9am–7pm daily; Nov–May: 9am–1pm, 2–4:45pm Adm
