Rock-cut tombs, Palæo-Castro. Plain of Paphos. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View looking towards the entrance to a group of rock-cut caves on the plain outside Paphos, with the sea visible in the distance: 'These rock-cut tombs are found on an eminence which rises out of the plain within sight of the distant ruins of Neo Paphos, and about half-way between that place and Ktimu, the capital of the district. Many thousands of these ancient sepulchres, hewn out of the calcareous rock, are to be met with in this neighbourhood. Often they contain each several chambers which communicate one with the other, and in all there are niches in the walls, every niche affording space sufficient for a single body. These tombs have, invariably, been opened and despoiled of their contents, and are now partly filled up with rubbish.'
