Cyprus has played a major part in the history of the Eastern Mediterranean. Its strategic position at the crossroads of three continents, as well as its considerable supplies of copper and timber, combine to make it a highly desirable territorial acquisition. Various castles in the island of Cyprus are evidence of the conquerors.
