Basilica of Panagia Limeniotissa, Early Christian basilica ruins in Kato Paphos, Cyprus.
The Basilica of Panagia Limeniotissa features remnants of marble columns and geometric mosaic patterns decorating the floors near Paphos harbor.
Constructed in the 5th century during the Byzantine period, the basilica endured multiple destructions, including Arab raids in 653 and earthquakes in 1159 and 1222.
The archaeological site reveals the architectural evolution of religious buildings in Cyprus, from its original three-aisled structure to subsequent reconstructions over centuries.
Located within the Paphos Archaeological Park, the basilica remains open daily from 8:30 to 19:30 in summer and until 17:00 in winter.
The site remained hidden until 1937, when initial discoveries led to excavations in 1959 that uncovered the complete structure of this early Christian monument.
