Archaeological sites in Paphos

Chrysopolitissa Basilica
Almost all but the foundations of this 4th-century paleochristian religious edifice were destroyed during the Arab Invasions of 653. You can still admire marble columns and several original mosaics. Saint Paul's Pillar is also here, where legend says the saint was bound and whipped 39 times before converting his torturer to Christianity.
Agios Neophytos Monastery
This monastery set in lush greenery in the heart of the mountains over Paphos is a genuine haven of peace and calm. Visitors can explore its hermitage, small museum, gardens, basilica and four cave dwellings which are home to rediscovered 12th-century frescoes.
