Acropolis
Near the modern Paphos lighthouse is the Cyprian Acropolis: a
complex of ancient buildings, including a Roman Odeon, built in the
2nd century, which has been restored and is now used for summer
orchestral and stage performances. The Odeon was the focus of the
ancient city centre, of which some ruins still remain in the area.
South of the Odeon are the remnants of the Roman Temple of
Asclepius, the God of Medicine, and north of the lighthouse are the
ruins of the ancient town walls.
