Summary

Description

Die Kirche der Panagia Chrysopolitissa befindet sich in Kato Pafos (Paphos) und wurde im 13. Jahrhundert auf den Ruinen der größten frühbyzantinischen Basilika Zyperns errichtet. Innerhalb der Anlage befindet sich die Paulussäule, an der der Apostel Paulus einer Legende nach vor dem römischen Statthalter Sergius Paulus ausgepeitscht wurde, bevor dieser zum Christentum konvertierte.

Die ursprünglich sieben Schiffe der Kirche wurden später auf fünf Schiffe reduziert. Der Boden der Basilika war mit farbenfrohen Mosaiken bedeckt, von denen einige zum Teil noch erhalten sind.

The church of Panagia Chrysopolitissa is located in Kato Pafos (Paphos) and was built in the 13th century on the ruins of Cyprus' largest early Byzantine basilica. Inside the complex is the column of Paul, on which, according to legend, the apostle Paul was whipped before the Roman governor Sergius Paul before he converted to Christianity.

The original seven naves of the church were later reduced to five. The floor of the basilica was covered with colourful mosaics, some of which are still preserved.
