Inscriptions:
Printed in lower left recto: Kyrenia Castle; The port of the Cerinia is reckoned the best on the north side of the island. The entrance hath been in some measure guarded by a fortification on each side, built on the rocks, and is absolutely secured by a very strong quadrangular castle; Alexander Drummond 1750 (Travels through Different Cities); The Cyprus Calendar; June 1950
Description:
A printed photograph of Kyrenia castle taken from the air forms the June page of the Cyprus Calendar (1950). Apart from the castle, it portrays the British Country Club and the Kyrenia District Courts built during the colonial period. At the time, as portrayed in the picture, the area between the courts and the harbour was but an olive grove, now densely built up. In the foreground, it is interesting to see one of the old buses circulating in Cyprus then.
