What to See in Paphos Town
Originally a Christian catacomb, Ayia Solomoni church presents a fascinating complex of underground chambers. It houses a collection of 12th century frescoes. Outside the building stands a sacred tree that is believed to cure the sick.
Fabrica Hill is a rocky mound of uncertain history. There are chambers cut out of the rock that feature vaulted roofs and painted walls, but whose purpose is unknown.
Located just inside the city wall of Ktima, Garrison’s Camp is a series of underground chambers cut out of the rock that is believed to have served as soldier’s living quarters. Excavation work is still underway.
The House of Theseus provides fascinating insights into the ancient art of mosaics. Named after its main piece, a mosaic depicting Theseus killing the Minotaur, the house is still undergoing excavation.
The Villa of Dionysos presents some of the finest mosaic remains in the Mediterranean area. The superbly preserved mosaic pavements lie near the harbour and mostly depict scenes from Greek mythology.
The second century Odeon is made of limestone, and is now used as a summer venue for musical and theatre performances. Nearby lie the remains of the ancient city walls and the Roman Agora. The latter, once used as a market place, stands in front of the Odeon. Only the foundations and parts of the columns remain.
