Othello's tower is the medieval fortress or citadel guarding both the harbour and the town of Famagusta . This is referred to in one of Shakespeare's plays in which Othello is described as a Moor. This is not so; it is the name of a Venetian governor of 1506. However, Shakespeare knew little about Cyprus and had never been there. The entrance to the tower is shown in the picture and is pierced through the Venetian fortifications which date from between 1500 and 1550.
