Nestled on the western coast of Cyprus, near the town of Paphos, lies a remarkable archaeological site known as the Tombs of the Kings.
This grand necropolis, dating back to the 4th century BC, is a testament to the island’s rich and fascinating history.
Contrary to what its name might suggest, this site was not the final resting place of royalty, but rather, served as a burial ground for high-ranking officials and affluent citizens of the time — a detail that speaks much about about the social structures and cultural practices of the era.
