Xonthian Castle stands proudly at the confluence of the Eurotis River to the west and the Straight of Irga to the north. This colossal edifice, constructed primarily from grey limestone, showcases remarkable engineering prowess. The choice of limestone, renowned for its ease of use in constructing sturdy structures was transported from the Xonthian Mountains to the west. The castle comprises two distinct wings, with the western Royal Wing commanding breathtaking views of the blue-grey waters to the north and the Eurotis River to the west.
The castle’s features include the regal Royal Hall, which serves as the heart of the fortress, and a subsequent addition of a guest wing situated to the south. Tucked away beside the main gate is a modest drill yard, offering a secluded space for training and military exercises. An encompassing outer wall fortifies the entire structure, incorporating a concealed garden adorned with a rich variety of flowers, trees, bushes, and other flourishing flora. This hidden oasis adds a touch of natural splendor to the grandeur of Xonthian Castle.
