Kantara Castle, located in Kyrenia, was a residence temporarily used by Templars and a location visited by Altaïr during his search for the Archives.
History
Kantara Castle was a personal stronghold for Moloch, a religious zealot and Templar commander. Moloch himself spent a great deal of time in the church of the compound. The Castle itself was inhabited by both guards and aggressive religious fanatics.
Trivia
- The actual Kantara Castle was built by the Byzantines in the 10th century and served as a lookout post against Arab raiders. It is the easternmost structure of a network of castles in the Kyrenia mountain range and stands 630 metres above sea level. Its first historical mention is during Richard the Lionheart's capture of Cyprus in 1191. At the time the Byzantine Governor of the island (Isaac Comnenus) had taken refuge here.
