Paphos Archaeological Park - is the area under the open sky, on which are the ruins of ancient buildings. Most of the ruins dates back to the era of the late Roman Empire (about II c.).  In the center of the park is the agora - a former space for social gatherings. Next to it you can see the foundation Asclepeion. This building was dedicated to the god of healers Asklepiasu and served as the church and the hospital at the same time .

The most fully in the Archaeological Park preserved Roman amphitheater and several residential buildings (House of Theseus, House of Aion, House of Dionysos, House of Orpheus). The buildings can still see the beautiful floor mosaics depicting the heroes of Greek and Roman mythology. In the summer the park has theatrical performances and live music, the stage for them is the amphitheater Odeon .
