Kourion

Kourion is a clifftop archaeological site on the southern coast of Cyprus west of Limassol, with a well-preserved Greco-Roman theatre that commands sweeping views of the Mediterranean and continues to host performances in summer. The site extends across a limestone promontory and includes the House of Eustolios with detailed early Byzantine mosaic floors, a nymphaeum, and the foundations of the Apollo Hylates sanctuary nearby. Earthquake destruction in the fourth century CE is dramatically documented by the discovery of skeletal remains of a family and horse found in the positions where they died.
