‘Hellenistic’ House in Nea Paphos, Cyprus – A First Summary of Its Architecture

Preliminary architectural analysis of the 'Hellenistic' House in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, reveals a sophisticated Roman-era residence characterized by multiple courtyards and rich decorative elements. Despite significant damage from an earthquake—followed by reconstruction that obscured its original layout—the study identifies key structural features, including preserved walls, floors, infrastructure, and decorative fragments. These remnants provide critical insights into the house's spatial organization and functional design, offering a rare glimpse into Hellenistic architecture in Cyprus before its transformation into the Villa of Theseus.
