    As far as I can see, there are no physically identifiable clues anywhere in this picture, to the best of my eyesight.
    So it’s going to be a process of narrowing down….

    Looks European though to me…..

    Hi All,

    I had seen all the stuff about clues but as you can see from my
    failure to answer up ’til now they went way over my head.

    This place is in Europe. It is a fort (although sometimes it is referred to
    as a castle). Seems to have had a very chequered history.

    Don’t know if that is any clue or not. We’ll see I suppose.

    John.

    Hi Ken & Pete,

    Sorry for delay. Was out trying to earn a living.
    Jeez ’tis getting harder.

    Both wrong.

    Below is a brief description of some of the chequered history I mentioned earlier.

    This is a Byzantine fort built to protect a harbor. Rebuilt by the Lusignans, it was dismantled by the Venetians and rebuilt by the Ottomans.

    Cheers,

    John.

    Hi John,

    Did I put too many googleable names into my hint or did you
    know it?

    Dosen’t matter anyway you are, of course, correct.

    Well done.

    John.

    No shame in that at all. I think google helps get a lot of the answers on this
    thread.

    In hindsight Byzantine, Lusignans and Venetians in the one hint was a bit generous.

    Hey John, I managed to figure it out about one minute too late – gas really because I was in the bloody
    building just last October :oops:

    Hi Ken,

    I was there for an Ireland V Cyprus match and really enjoyed
    walking round the Paphos area.

    Like a lot of places I have been I would like to revisit with the little
    extra photographic knowledge I have picked up in the last while.

    John.
