... Wonderful views of some of the most beautiful and best preserved floor murals in the Eastern Mediterranean... giving a valuable insight of Greco-Romans daily life as well as the legends of gods, goddesses, and heroes... the mosaics were discovered in 1962, after a farmer ploughing his field accidentally unearthed one of them... they are part of a larger archaeological site that includes a theatre and a ruined
fortress... a gem for archeology and history lovers... Thanks a lot Bori!!【ツ】
The Pahos Mosaics are situated just near the Pahos Harbour within the Paphos Archaeological Park and they are dating from the third to fifth centuray A.D. Paphos is located on the southwest coast of Cyprus.
Five houses with large sections of mosaics with varying levels of damage can be seen at Paphos.
The mansions are named after the recurring theme found in the mosaics inside: the House of Dionysus, the House of Theseus, the House of Aion, the House of Orpheus, and the House of The Four Seasons.
The Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list since 1980.
