Limassol

   Introduction

      Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus. It is located at the innermost part of Limassol Bay on the southern coast of the island of Cyprus. It serves as a modern port for exporting agricultural products, processed goods, and minerals. The city has thriving industries including shipping, food, and perfumes; its ancient city ruins, Amathus, are widely renowned.

      During the Crusades, Richard the Lionheart, leader of the Third Crusade, landed in Limassol, where he rescued a noblewoman captured by the Byzantine emperor; later, they held an extremely grand wedding ceremony in Limassol.
