Old Buildings Found in Paphos

Builders in Paphos found old stone buildings. This was a big surprise. It happened near hotels in December. The land was for a new hotel. Now it is a place for history. It is near the Tombs of the Kings.

Machines found rooms and walls. They found hidden places too. Experts are looking at the stones. The Ministry of Culture is helping. Pictures of the stones are online. People think about the old times.

Elena Tooulia said they are studying it. The new hotel will not be built now. They are cleaning the area slowly. Old things are important. More study is needed.

Paphos has many old treasures. It is hard to build new things. They want to keep old history safe. The careful work shows this.

These findings can change building plans. They may need a big dig. Or, they might cover the site again. This reminds us of Cyprus's past. More old things could be found. Building plans are stopped for now.
