The Gothic Church

The Gothic Church and the early Christian basilica are located next to the Ayia Kyriaki church and St. Pauls Pillar. The whole site is in Kato Paphos and can be found about 100 yards from the agia solomoni catacombs, which are on Apostolos Pavlos avenue. The remains of the Gothic Church and the early Christian basilica are difficult to differentiate between as they are so close to each other.
