Tombs of the Kings, Underground necropolis in Paphos, Cyprus.
The Tombs of the Kings contains carved underground chambers with Doric columns, peristyle courtyards, and multiple burial compartments spread across eight complexes.
The necropolis served as a burial site for Ptolemaic aristocrats and officials from the third century BC until the third century AD.
The architectural design of the tombs reflects ancient Hellenistic influences from Alexandria and Pergamon, incorporating elements used in houses of the living.
The archaeological site opens daily from 8:30 to 16:30, with an entrance fee of 2.50 euros for exploring the underground burial chambers.
Tomb number 3 contains evidence of medieval repurposing, including a pottery workshop established within its ancient burial chambers.
