An extraordinary spot, you can stand in the HUGE ruins with mosaics and green marble columns and see another TINY christian basilica that's almost taken over by trees! The pillar where st paul was whipped is here too.

We took my grandparents to Paphos to see the ruins and I never knew these mosaics were so complete! It's totally cool to see them, and know that the Romans laid them centuries ago. Totally worth buying the book as well from the kiosk to really get the best out of it.

A bit of a trek from the beach but worth it! A beautiful byzantine church and apparently the real pillar st paul was flayed at as well! Great little spot.

The oldest church in Rome, and perhaps the world (??) it's absolutely beautiful with artwork and frescoes and mosaics to match the best i've ever seen.
