A winter pilgrimage : being an account of travels through Palestine, Italy, and the island of Cyprus, accomplished in the year 1900 . Heights of Hilarion. Venetian Fortress, Kyrenia(Showing window of secret cell) NICOSIA AND KYRENIA 181 and all its trimmings, such as lamps and jars ofearthenware. But of this I can find no trace except myself seems to have forgottenall about him. Sic transit gloria—cadaveris. Thereare still, however, plenty of these Phoenician tombs leftin the neighbourhood. The castle is a fine building of the same type andperiod as the Famagusta fortifications and those ofNicosia. According to Drummond (1750) probablythe whole work was repaired by Savorniani, who inthe year 1525 demolished the old works of these placesand re-fortified them. I do not know if he is correctand am, I confess, ignorant of the fame of Savorniani,although I think I have read somewhere that he wasa noted military engineer of the period. Now the placeis used as a jail, a fortunate circumstance, since it makessome care of the ancient fabric necessary. Here Iwould suggest that at very small expense the oldchapel could be restor
