Paphos Archaeological Park

Sobre Paphos Archaeological Park

Nea Paphos ("New Paphos") was an ancient city in Cyprus founded in the late 4th century BC. It was built as a successor to Palaepaphos ("Old Paphos") in modern Kouklia, which was the commercial, administrative, and religious center of the Cypriot city-state of Paphos. Nea Paphos was the island's capital under much of its Ptolemaic and Roman administrations, and like its predecessor Palaepaphos became a major maritime trading hub in the eastern Mediterranean. Archaeological excavations at Nea Paphos have uncovered well-preserved urban infrastructure, public buildings, residential compounds, rock-cut tombs, and a harbor complex which date from the city's founding at the start of the Hellenistic era, through Roman rule, and into the island's Byzantine period.
