Paphos Archaeological Park
Paphos Archaeological Park, Archaeological site in Paphos, Cyprus.
The archaeological park contains extensive ruins of ancient Greek and Roman settlements, including four Roman villas with preserved mosaic floors and a theater.
The site became the capital of Cyprus in the second century BCE, replacing Salamina during the Hellenistic period under Ptolemaic rule.
The House of Dionysus extends over 2000 square meters, with 556 square meters of mosaic floors depicting mythological scenes, seasonal themes, and hunting activities.
The Department of Antiquities manages the site through designated control zones that regulate building heights and architectural styles to maintain preservation standards.
The House of Aion contains a mosaic floor from the fourth century CE that represents one of the most exceptional examples of ancient Roman art.
