Image 7 of 13

This extended ruin was the largest Byzantine basilica in Paphos, and the remnants of some former beautiful mosaics are a proof of her distant grandfather.Probably it dates from the fourth century - at the top of the Byzantine power in Cyprus - and was destroyed in 653 AD.during the Arab raids on the island.At the eastern end of the site is the Ayia Kyriaki Church, which is still in use today for Catholic and Anglican services.At the western end of the site is the pillar of St. Paul, considered locally, the pillar in which St. Paul was tied and gave him 39 strokes as a punishment for preaching Christianity.After that, he managed to turn the governor into Christianity, transforming Cyprus into one of the first Christian states in the world.
