Kato Pafos archaeology park entrance and visitor centre, Paphos, Cyprus


Nea Pafos (New Pafos) is the name given to Pafos Archaeological Site to the west of Kato Pafos. Nea Pafos was the ancient city of Pafos, founded in the late 4th century BC and originally encircled by massive walls. Despite being ceded to the Romans in 58 BC, it remained the centre of all political and administrative life in Cyprus. It is most famed today for its mesmerising collection of intricate and colourful mosaics based on ancient Greek myths.
