Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa

We were there on Sunday for the 11 o'clock service in Polish. Very nice atmosphere and priests. I will go again

A fantastic and very understated location, we found it just walking past. Successive early Christian churches have been built on the same site, with mosaics and columns surviving from the original ones, and a very pretty small church still active. The boardwalk around it was closed but you can still get around the sides of the site and see it clearly.

Undergoing works on the outside walkways, access impossible. Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa in Paphos is a serene historic gem blending Byzantine ruins, Gothic architecture, and St. Paul's Pillar, where tradition says the apostle was whipped . Nestled in Kato Paphos' UNESCO Archaeological Park, this active church hosts Anglican and Catholic services amid ancient basilica remnants . A must-visit for its spiritual depth and tranquil vibe.

A city full of history. If you like history and early Christianity, I recommend a visit.

Amazing ancient church with many historic layers and foundations. The boardwalk is closed right now but will be repaired soon. The church is currently being used by the local Catholic parish & worth to visit their services! Amazing priests

Stumbled across the church and site whilst in Paphos. Nice exhibit of old structures. There was an afternoon service in place with people singing which gave the place a peaceful ambiance. It is a small site worth visiting and is within walking distance of Kings shopping centre. Free to enter. I

An amazing place to go, just a short walk from the harbour. There is a boardwalk right around the sight so your above the ruins can see them more clearly especially the fragments of the mosaics, you can also go inside the church , if u r appropriately attired that is. There is a good fresco to see very atmospheric.

Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa is one of the most beautiful and historically significant churches in Paphos, built amid the ruins of an early Christian basilica dating back to the 4th century AD. The present church, constructed in the 16th century, stands gracefully above the ancient remains, blending Byzantine, Gothic, and later architectural elements into a serene and atmospheric setting. What makes this site truly special is the Apostle Paul’s Pillar, located just outside the church. According to tradition, Saint Paul was flogged at this very pillar when he came to Paphos to spread Christianity — a deeply symbolic reminder of the city’s early Christian heritage. Visitors can stroll along wooden walkways above the extensive archaeological remains of the original basilica, admire well-preserved mosaic floors, and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the modern church, which still serves the local congregation today.
