Cyprus: Palaia Paphos (Kouklia) - Sanctuary of Aphrodite - massive stones of wall round temenos (temple district). Round openings are a mystery. Palaipafos (Old Pafos) was one of the most celebrated pilgrimage centres of the ancient Greek world, and once city-kingdom of Cyprus. Here stood the famous Sanctuary of Aphrodite, the most ancient remains of which date back to the 12th century BC. The glorious days of the sanctuary lasted until the 3rd-4th century. Excavations continue on the site of the sanctuary, the city and the necropolis. 固opFoto / Fortean
