You're standing at Saint Hilarion Castle, high up in the Kyrenia Mountains in the north of Cyprus. Take a look around. The walls and towers almost seem to grow out of the rock. From up here, the castle kept watch over the mountain pass between Kyrenia and Nicosia. Nobody used that road without being seen.
