The prices Castle is a little city in itself. Situated on a beautiful hill, the castle is not a mere building but rather a general area that consists of an array of ancient ruins such as the famous Poets tomb, the Cham towers, a pagoda and a number of exquisite natural attractions which includes a beautiful rolling beach.

All of these historic landmarks are beautifully placed by the side of the well preserved ruins of an ancient French Estate. Perched on a significant height above sea level, the Princes Castle affords some unparalleled views of the city along with the many mountains, valleys and rivers that adorns this location.

The History of the Princes Castle goes way back. In fact the Cham Towers itself was built somewhere in the 8th Century AD. The French Estate however, from which the Princes Castle gets its name came to life in the year 1911. It really was a Princes Castle back in the day, for the French Prince Duke De Montpentsier made it his very own sanctuary. History has it that ever since he laid eyes on this spot, he fell in love with it and built on it a massive villa that occupied a total of 536 square meters and comprised of 13 rooms. The technology used to sustain the villa was state of the art at the time and not surprisingly it was the most modern construction in the city during this era.
