ENGLISH
The castle of Antimachia dates from the 13th century. After the earthquake of 1493 it was expanded by the Johannieters. In the 15th and 16th centuries during the Ottoman Empire, it had to protect the population against pirates, which was quite normal at the time. From about 1850 the castle was no longer used.
The largest part of the castle collapsed during the great earthquake of 1933.
Only a part of the impressive outer walls has been spared, but nothing on the inside.
Because of the imposing outer wall, one can roughly form a picture of what it must have looked like in former times.
NEDERLANDS
Het kasteel van Antimachia dateert uit de 13e eeuw. Na de aardbeving van 1493 werd het door de Johannieters uitgebreid. In de 15e en 16e eeuw tijdens het Ottomaanse Rijk, moest het de bevolking beschermen tegen piraten, wat in die tijd heel normaal was. Vanaf ongeveer 1850 werd het kasteel niet meer gebruikt.
Het grootste gedeelte van het kasteel is ingestort tijdens de grote aardbeving van 1933.
Slechts een gedeelte van de indukwekkende buitenmuren is gespaard gebleven, maar van binnen helemaal niets.
Door de imposante buitenmuur, kan men zich ongeveer een beeld vormen over hoe het er in tijden moet hebben uitgezien.
DEUTSH
Die Burg von Antimachia stammt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Nach dem Erdbeben von 1493 wurde es von den Johannietern erweitert. Im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert während des Osmanischen Reiches musste es die Bevölkerung vor Piraten schützen, was zu dieser Zeit ganz normal war. Ab ca. 1850 wurde die Burg nicht mehr genutzt.
Der größte Teil der Burg stürzte während des großen Erdbebens von 1933 ein.
Nur ein Teil der beeindruckenden Außenmauern ist verschont geblieben, innen jedoch nichts.
Durch die imposante Außenwand kann man sich grob ein Bild machen, wie es früher ausgesehen haben muss.

ANTIMACHIA VENETIAN CASTLE KOS
The Castle of Antimachia in Kos: On a small hill above Antimachia village, to the south of Kos Town lies the Venetian Castle, known as the Castle of Antimachia. It was built in the early 14th century by the Order of the Knights of Saint John but works were intensified at the end of the 15th century, particularly in 1494 as it can be seen at the inscription above the main gate.
The external fortifications of the Castle stand strong to this day, although many centuries have passed and they have suffered numerous attacks. The only entrance to the Castle is found on its northern side and it is protected by double gates. Above the entrance, there is the symbol of the Knights engraved in marble.
