The Sanctuary of Aphrodite (Palaepaphos) is located in the village of Kouklia in Cyprus. Palaepaphos was one of the most important religious centres of the ancient Greek world, established in the 12th century BCE. Already famous in the time of Homer who referred to the Goddess as Kipris (the “Cyprian”), the sanctuary remained the renowned cult place of Aphrodite until the 4th century CE.
