Tombs of the Kings (Paphos)

The Tombs of the Kings is a vast necropolis carved from solid rock, dating from the 4th century BC. Despite its name, it was not for royalty but for high-ranking officials and aristocrats. The tombs are cut deep into the ground, with some featuring Doric columns and peristyle atriums, resembling houses for the dead. Visitors can descend into several tombs, exploring chambers and burial niches. The site's atmospheric setting, with scattered tombs amid a rocky landscape, offers a poignant connection to ancient funerary practices.
