Home to Larnaca District Medieval Museum, Larnaca Fort marks the end of the seafront promenade and houses historical objects including cannons, suits of armour, lace from nearby Lefkara and other assorted items.
Built in 1625 under Ottoman rule, the fort was later used as a prison when the British took over Cyprus in 1878. In summer it is sometimes the venue for concerts and other special events organised by the Municipal Cultural Centre.
