The story

Story · Othello's Tower

You're standing at Othello Castle in Famagusta, on the east coast of Cyprus. Plenty of people call it Othello's Tower. That name is actually fairly recent. It comes from a stage note in Shakespeare's Othello, a play set in a harbour town on Cyprus. The castle itself is far older than the name.
