Kato Paphos - Panagia Chrysopolitissa Church

(Local Name: Káto Páfos - Panayía Chrysopolítissa) This church was built in the 13th century over the ruins of the largest early Byzantine basilica on the island. Within the compound one can see St Paul's Pillar, where, according to tradition, St Paul was flogged for preaching Christianity in Cyprus. Later Roman Governor Sergius Paulus was converted to Christianity and made Cyprus the first Christian land in the world.
