Area information Larnaca is the oldest living city of Cyprus and was originally known as Kition, or Kittium. Legend has it that the first settlement at the spot was founded by Noah' s grandson Khittim.
The Kition City Kingdom was established by the Mycenean Greeks in the 13th century BC, when it enjoyed the dual position of a rich port and a major centre of the copper trade. Remains of that period (excavated in recent years) can be seen in its Cyclopean walls and a complex of Mycenean temples. The very well preserved fortified port and shipyards are of a later period.
Larnaca is the birthplace of the Stoic philosopher Zenon who taught in Athens in the 4th century BC. The Byzantine period of Larnaca is of great importance. It left many interesting monuments, among them the 9th century AD Basilica of Saint Lazarus. The town regained its standing during Ottoman rule when it became the diplomatic and commercial centre of Cyprus. It was here that the British landed in 1878 to begin their rule of the island, which ended in 1960. , |
