This historic fortification dates back to the Middle Ages and was originally constructed to protect the port. Throughout its history, it has served as a Byzantine fort, an Ottoman garrison, an artillery station, and a British prison. The structure remains open to the public as a significant historical landmark.

The site houses the Larnaka Medieval Museum, which displays historical artifacts from the early Christian, Byzantine, and post-Byzantine periods. The collection includes medieval pottery, weapons, and Byzantine wall paintings. These exhibits provide insight into the medieval and colonial history of the region.

The internal courtyard functions as an open-air theatre. The fortress preserves various architectural elements from its past military and administrative uses, standing as a prominent feature on the waterfront.
