Paphos Harbour Castle

1 hour

Standing grandly at the west end of the town’s harbour, Pafos (Paphos) Castle (Medieval Fort) was originally a Byzantine fort built to protect the harbour, and was rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century, but then dismantled by the Venetians. The Ottomans rebuilt it in the 16th century when they conquered the island. What survives today is the 1592 Ottoman restoration of the western Frankish tower with its Venetian additions. An inscription above the only entrance of the castle bears witness to this restoration.
The main part of the castle is a big square tower that has an enclosed courtyard in the middle. The ground floor consists of a central hall with small rooms on each of its two long sides, which were used as prison cells during Ottoman Rule. There are 12 battlements on the roof, which received a corresponding number of cannons. The Ottomans removed the cannons in 1878, when they handed over the administration of the island to the British.

Kato Paphos Archaeological Park

The Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos (Paphos) is one of the most important archaeological sites of Cyprus and has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list since 1980.
Nicocles, the last King of Palaipafos moved the city from the previous location to its present location near the harbour at the end of the 4th century BC. Between the 2nd century BC and 4th century AD, Pafos was the capital city of Cyprus.
The Park includes sites and monuments from the 4th century BC to the Middle Ages, while most remains date to the Roman period. The intricate mosaic floors of four Roman villas (the houses of Dionysos, Theseus, Aion and Orpheus) form the impressive epicentre of the finds, and depict various scenes from Greek Mythology. The complex also includes other important monuments, such as the Asklepieion, the Odeon, the Agora, the Saranta Kolones (Forty Columns) Castle, the Limeniotissa ruins of an Early Christian Basilica, and the Tombs of the Kings.

St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church

Our journey to Christendom begins in 45 AD in Pafos, when the Apostles Paul and Barnabas visited the island and the then capital of Cyprus. Accompanied by the Evangelist John Mark on their missionary journey, both Paul and Barnabas faced difficulties in preaching the gospel to the gentiles. In fact, Paul was flogged before Roman Governor, Sergius Paulus, in an attempt to convert the ruler. Legend has it that the Apostle was tied to a stone pillar receiving thirty-nine (forty but one) lashes for evangelising Christianity in Pafos. He was eventually successful in his efforts, making Cyprus one of the world’s first Christian states.
