Historical Places of Cyprus – Infothek
Cyprus is more than just a Mediterranean island with beautiful beaches—it’s a crossroads of civilizations that stretches back to the earliest chapters of human history. From Neolithic settlements to Bronze Age kingdoms, from Phoenician harbors to Roman theaters, from Byzantine monasteries to Crusader castles, and from Ottoman mosques to British colonial buildings—every era has left its mark on the landscape of Cyprus.
Over thousands of years, Cyprus has been home to or conquered by a long succession of peoples: Achaean Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, Ottomans, and the British. Each civilization has added to the island’s rich tapestry of history, leaving behind temples, fortresses, churches, tombs, aqueducts, and more.
This section of the Sanyctours Infothek is dedicated to exploring these layers of history—revealing the stories behind the stones, the people who built them, and the world they lived in. Whether you’re fascinated by ancient mythology, medieval power struggles, or colonial influence, you’ll find insight and inspiration here.
