saint paul's pillar印象
-
Fantastic grub, big portions and great staff! Set in a beautiful location and very tranquil surroundings. Went back for lunch as we enjoyed it so much first time around.
-
Saint Paul visited Cyprus in 45AD in an attempt to convert the ruler to Christianity. Tied to the pillar he received 40 lashes.Many pilgrims come to this site and there is no entrance charge.Near the pillar is the Ayia Kyriaki church -a 13th century church built on an earlier basilica.Have a look inside -it's very beautiful.The whole site is a short walk from the harbour.
-
This pillar is situated in a large site of well preserved ruins and a fully functioning church. We felt that the pillar looked too new to be the one to which St. Paul was tied.
-
Some mosaics, but most of what you see cannot be described as ancient. However it is free and worth a fleeting visit.

Pope Benedict XVI became the first pontiff in modern history to visit Cyprus. And the first stopon his itinerary was Saint Paul's Pillar during his pilgrimage to Cyprus in June 2010.Do make sure that you also go inside the church, even better to visit when a service is takingPlace. This historic site is a very spiritual place. Definitely worth a visit.

took a leisurely 15/20 minute stroll round here it is quite interesting a walkway takes you round the site some of the mosiacs are remarkably in gd conditionits situated just behind debenhams and only a few minutes stroll from the harbour bus station well worth a walk round
-
The church is small, but nice and well preserved. The walk around the ruins on the wooden path is a nice experience. This stop doesn't take long to see (maybe 5-15 min) and is free to the public.
-
what a thrill!, standing in the footsteps of St Paul. Reported in the Acts of the Apostles, you can stand where St Paul stood preaching in the years after Jesus rose from the dead (and where he got flogged by the locals) really worth a visit.
-
Impressive archaeological site but it has dozens of pillars and we didn't know which one was the right one. Accessible site over raised footbridges. This is a great place to go if you enjoy history and archaeology. Some beautiful mosaics and a very interesting visit.

What a beautiful site this is, make sure you go inside the church, it was magnificent, even better to visit when a service is taking place.
