Tamassos
Tamassos, 13 miles (21km) south-west of Nicosia, was an ancient
city kingdom renowned for its rich copper works. Recent
archaeological excavations at the site have produced some exciting
finds in the Royal Tombs. These were six limestone sculptures, two
representing life-sized sphinxes and four lions, in a crouching
position. The sculptures are believed to date to the 6th century BC
when Cyprus was under Egyptian control. Visitors to the site can
also see the Agios Irakleidios Monastery near Politiko village.
