Limassol District, District in southern Cyprus

The Limassol District extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the Troodos Mountains, containing 106 communities and the second largest city of Cyprus.

Archaeological discoveries in the district reveal ancient settlements dating from the 7th century BC, including the ruins of Amathus and Kourion cities.

The district preserves medieval structures like Kolossi Castle, built by the Knights Hospitaller, and churches in the Troodos Mountains with Byzantine frescoes.

The district functions as a maritime center with two major ports handling passenger traffic and commercial shipments between Cyprus and international destinations.

The Kouris River runs through the district, forming valleys and providing water resources through the Kouris Dam, the largest water reservoir in Cyprus.
