Aphrodite's sanctuary

Image 13 of 13

Aphrodite's sanctuary dates from the 12th century BC.And it was an important religious ritual center.The goddess was not represented in human form but by the conical stone, which was anointed with oil.There are several rooms around the court, which are a mixture of early Romanian constructions and additions.The southern wing is the best preserved of the building.There is a Phoenician temple inside this wing in a small courtyard, but the Roman reconstruction added to the confusion of the original appearance.The house was probably a residence for the priests who had a tendency to the sanctuary.There are the ruins of several other Roman houses on this place, especially Leda's house.It is reached in a marked path and contains a copy of the mosaic that describes Leda and Swan (the most famous in Cyprus).
