Kato Paphos

Paphos Archaeological Park (also Kato Pafos Archaeological Park) contains the major part of the important ancient Greek and Roman City and is located in Paphos, southwest Cyprus. The park, still under excavation, is within the Nea Pafos ("New Paphos") section of the coastal city.

Its sites and monuments date from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages. Among the most significant remains so far discovered are four large and elaborate Roman villas: the House of Dionysos, the House of Aion, the House of Theseus and the House of Orpheus, all with superb preserved mosaic floors, especially an Orpheus mosaic. In addition, excavations have uncovered an Agora, Asklipieion, Basilica, Odeion, Hellenistic-Roman Theatre, and a necropolis known as the "Tombs of the Kings".

In 1980 Nea Pafos was inscribed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO for its outstanding ancient remains.

Nea Pafos, the 'House of Dionysos': A luxurious building of the Roman period that belongs to the type of Hellenistic houses whose rooms surround a peristyle yard, which was the core of the building. It seems to have been built at the end of the 2nd century AD and was destroyed in the earthquakes at the beginning of the 4th century. Out of the 2000 square metres of the building, a quarter is decorated with mosaic floors depicting mythological themes as well as scenes of hunting, etc. Kato Paphos 4
