Archeological Sites, Paphos

The various Archeological sites of Kato Paphos, even though today appear as distinct areas, were once considered part of the historical city of ‘Nea Paphos’. The project resurrects that understanding by proposing a masterplan for the entire area, which includes several immediate and tangible Architectural interventions. A system of walkways bridges the gap between the Archeological sites East and West of Apostolou Pavlou Avenue. A major part of these walkways is a 380 meters long pedestrian bridge that transcribes the circular footprint of Fabrica Hill before its partial removal to allow for the construction of Apostolou Pavlou Avenue. The bridge signifies the connection between the two major Archeological sites East and West of the main Avenue and transports visitors to the highest peaks of Fabrica Hill offering panoramic views. Another objective is to regenerate the neglected areas East of Apostolou Pavlou Avenue which lack proper urban infrastructure and were never easily accessible from the main roadways surrounding them. A public square is created along one of the major walkways proposed that runs through this area also referred to as the fishing village.
