Fragment of floor mosaics in the Villa of Dionysos.
Paphos mosaics were discovered in 1962. They belong to
3 th century. In the ensuing twenty years' excavations, archaeologists found fragments of four buildings of that time, three of which are open for inspection - the so-called Villa of Dionysos, Theseus and Aion. The buildings are not preserved, but preserved mosaics.
