Summary

Recent excavations on Fabrika hill in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, reveal a substantial post-medieval stone building constructed from materials repurposed from the ancient theatre's ruins. This structure suggests industrial activity, potentially linked to the hill's name, and underscores the need for further investigation into its function and the urban dynamics between Fabrika and the theatrical precinct during Hellenistic and Roman periods. The study highlights gaps in understanding Nea Paphos' recent history and calls for a reassessment of this area's significance.
