EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Buffavento Castle, a fortress that dates back to the 11th century. Located in the Kyrennia Mountains of Cyprus, this Byzantine stronghold was once defended by Isaac Comneus, the Despot of Cyprus from 1184-91. It is said that Richard the Lion Heart himself attempted to conquer this formidable castle during his reign as King of England. The image showcases the castle's impressive architecture and fortifications against a backdrop of lush greenery and towering trees. The elevated view allows us to appreciate both its strategic location and its integration with nature. The vibrant colors bring out every detail of this historical gem, emphasizing its significance as a geographical feature. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when kings and despots fought for power and control over these lands. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the stories embedded within these ancient structures. This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into history itself. Whether displayed in your home or office, it will undoubtedly spark conversations about medieval times, Byzantium culture, and the fascinating clash between Isaac Comneus and Richard the Lion Heart at Buffavento Castle.
