This was the living areas and 2 of the 3 have large fireplaces displaying the Fleur-de-lys symbol of Louis de Magnac.
Also on this level is the remains of a religious wall fresco.
From here there is a steep spiral staircase leading to the roof, be careful on your way up and down as there isn’t room to pass other visitors, however you can hear them coming so just wait before you start your ascent or descent.

At the top you will see crenellations with arrow slits. Kolossi Castle was part of a network of fortifications that safeguarded Cyprus from invaders. The presence of the Knights Hospitaller and their military expertise helped to protect the inhabitants from various threats during the turbulent medieval period.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
