Paphos - Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa

Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa (aka the Church at St. Paul's Pillar) is a religious and archaeological site in Paphos. It is famous as the place where, according to tradition, the Apostle Paul was bound and flogged.
The present church, built in the 13th century, stands on the ruins of one of the largest early Byzantine basilicas in Cyprus, dating from the 4th century. It is now used jointly by Catholic and Anglican congregations for worship.
Unfortunately, due to ongoing works on the wooden walkways that run over the site, we were unable to visit either the church or the excavated mosaics of the 4th centry basilica. The workers were really tough.
