Kato Paphos - Forty Columns
The columns were built by the Lusignans in the 13th century on the site of a previous Byzantine castle.

The castle was probably built in the seventh century as protection against Arab raiders. It had an outer wall which was some three meters thick and a moat. The square keep was built around a courtyard and had substantial towers at each corner. Entry was through a fifth gate tower on the east side.

Although the building is in ruins, there are many fragments of towers and dungeons to explore, but all are unprotected and those with small children should be careful on the higher parts of the ruins.
Kato Paphos - Tombs of the Kings
Outside the town of Paphos are the so-called Tombs of the Kings, rock-cut tomb chambers with architectural embellishments.
These impressive underground tombs date to the fourth century B.C. They are carved out of solid rock, some decorated with Doric pillars. The magnificence of the tombs gives the locality its name.
