Work in the city of Paphos found old stone buildings. This discovery has made many people interested. It happened in mid-December near hotels. The area was for building a new hotel. Now it is a place of historical interest. It is close to the famous Tombs of the Kings.
Machines found rooms and walls underground. They also found hidden spaces. Experts are now studying these findings. The Ministry of Culture in Cyprus is involved. Pictures of the stones were shared online. People are guessing about the history of the place.
Elena Tooulia from the Ministry spoke about the work. She said it is still being studied. There are no plans to build a new hotel now. The area is being cleared carefully. Discoveries must be respected. This shows the findings might be important. More study is needed before building.
The location of the discovery is interesting. Paphos is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has many historical treasures. It is hard to build new things and keep old history safe. The careful work shows they want to find a balance.
These findings could change building plans. They might need a big archaeological dig. Or, if not very important, the site could be covered again. This discovery reminds us of Cyprus's history. More old things might be found in historical areas. Building plans in Paphos are paused for now.
