Kolossi Castle. Lusignans of Cyprus Coat of Arms 
 Description at the Castle says, "Cruciform marble slab with an escutcheon (emblem in the shape of a shield) in its center, which is divided into four sections and depicts the -then- complete coat-of-arms of the Lusignans of Cyprus. The emblem of Jerusalem, the old Lusignan coat of arms, the emblem of Cyprus and the emblem of Armenia are represented. The four compartments make up a unity, since as of 1393 the king of Cyprus was also king of Jerusalem and Armenia. Over the escutcheon, a crown can be seen, while on either side of the royal coat-of-arms of the Lusignan, the coat-of-arms of the two Grand Masters of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Jean de Lastic and Jacques de Milli, are depicted. Beneath the escutcheon, the coat-of-arms of the Grand Commander of the Order, Louis de Magnac, believed to be the founder of the Castle, is present."
