Sights

Simon Giesecke

In Lower Paphos you will find a couple of sights that led you through the various ages of Cyprus' history: roman buildings, a Byzantine palace, Christian churches, a Frankish bath and Turkish castle architecture. Upper Paphos (Ktima) was once the burial grounds for New Paphos. Three small, but very interesting museums are located there (see museums)

Frankish bath

Edit This

Only a few fragments remain of the old baths, but their discovery was of considerable archaeological importance. You will find the ruins of the Frankish baths in Agiou Agapitikou Street, some yards away from the St. Pauls Pillar. In the 7th century this palace was build in Byzantine style, nowadays only some ruins are left.
