Site of St. Paul's Pillar, Agia Kyriaki Church, and ruins of Panagia Chrysopolitissa Basilica <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif;">According to a local legend, the supposed "St. Paul's Pillar" is the place to which Paul was tied and received 39 lashes when he preached in Paphos. Roman Governor Sergius Paulus was said to have ordered the arrest and punishment prior to his own conversion to Christianity.<br/> <br/> The legend itself is late in origin. Medieval pilgrims visiting the site made no mention of this pillar but instead recorded visiting an underground prison in which Paul was held.<br/> <br/> More historically reliable are the ancient ruins of the Panagia Chrysopolitissa Basilica (also known as the Early Christian Basilica of Panagia Chrysopolitissa). This 4th century CE Byzantine basilica was said to have been the largest on the island of Cyprus.<br/> <br/> Two other churches have stood in this area. One was a 13th century CE Gothic cathedral turned mosque that is also now in ruins. The one still standing is the 16th century CE church known as Agia Kryiaki. It is still in use today by the Anglican church of Paphos.<br/> <br/> Fun fact: Eric the Good, King of Denmark from 1095-1103, died on this spot in 1103 CE on his way to visit the Holy Land.</span> Keywords: 13th Century CE,16th Century CE,39 lashes,4th century CE,Agia Kryiaki Church,Anglican church of Paphos,Basilica,Byzantine Basilica,Church,Cypriot legends,Early Christian Basilica of Panagia Chrysopolitissa,Eric the Good,Gothic Cathedral,King of Denmark,Panagia Chrysopolitissa Basilica,Paphos,Saint Paul,Sergius Paulus,St. Paul,St. Paul's Column,St. Paul's Pillar,archaeology
