St. Solomonis catacombs at Paphos

The church of St. Solomoni located in Kato Paphos near Fabrica Hil at St. Paul Avenue, a distance of about one kilometer from the port. 





Is open during daylight hours & free

It is carved in limestone beneath the ground and was originally catacomb, though some archaeologists believe that they were graves dating from the Hellenistic period.


To see the church, ruins of old 12th-century frescoes  the visitor needs to come down about twenty steps.


The rock above the church is a large, perennial terebinth. Many believe that if you hang one in the branches of his own bid, usually scarf, diseases will be cured. Many people, both locals and visitors, still follow today.
