View the Chrysopolitissa Basilica & St. Paul's Pillar This extensive ruin was once Byzantine Paphos' largest basilica, and the scattered columns and remnants of once beautiful mosaics are testament to its long-gone grandeur. It probably dates from the 4th century – at the height of Byzantine power in Cyprus – and was destroyed in CE 653 during the Arab raids across the island. At the eastern end of the site is the Ayia Kyriaki Church, which is still in use today for Catholic and Anglican services. At the western end of the site is St. Paul's Pillar, locally believed to be the pillar where St. Paul was bound and given 39 lashes as a punishment for preaching Christianity. After this he managed to convert the governor to Christianity making Cyprus one of the first Christian states in the world.
