848 CY - Choirokoitia (1998)

Choirokoitia


"The Neolithic settlement of Choirokoitia, occupied from the 7th to the 4th millennium B.C., is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the eastern Mediterranean. Its remains and the finds from the excavations there have thrown much light on the evolution of human society in this key region. Since only part of the site has been excavated, it forms an exceptional archaeological reserve for future study."

乔伊鲁科蒂亚
"公元前7000至公元前4000年，乔伊鲁科蒂亚新石器时代人类聚落是地中海东部地区最重要的史前遗址之一。这里的遗迹和出土文物证明了人类社会在这一重要地区的演进。遗址仅挖掘了一部分，还有很多非凡古迹有待将来研究。"

351 CY - Painted Churches in the Troodos Region (1985)

Brief Description

"This region is characterized by one of the largest groups of churches and monasteries of the former Byzantine Empire. The complex of 10 monuments included on the World Heritage List, all richly decorated with murals, provides an overview of Byzantine and post-Byzantine painting in Cyprus. They range from small churches whose rural architectural style is in stark contrast to their highly refined decoration, to monasteries such as that of St John Lampadistis."

特罗多斯地区的彩绘教堂

"这个地区是拜占庭帝国最大的教堂和修道院群落之一。列入《世界遗产名录》10个建筑全都饰有大量的壁画，全面展示了塞浦路斯的拜占 庭式和后拜占庭式绘画。建筑物的类型从小教堂到圣约翰拉姆帕迪斯提斯这样的修道院，应有尽有。小教堂的田园建筑风格与其精美装饰形成了鲜明对比。"

79 CY - Paphos (1980)

Brief Description

"Paphos has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. It was a centre of the cult of Aphrodite and of pre-Hellenic fertility deities. Aphrodite's legendary birthplace was on this island, where her temple was erected by the Myceneans in the 12th century B.C. The remains of villas, palaces, theatres, fortresses and tombs mean that the site is of exceptional architectural and historic value. The mosaics of Nea Paphos are among the most beautiful in the world."

帕福斯

"帕福斯自新石器时代就有人类居住，是一个崇拜阿芙罗狄蒂(Aphrodite)和前希腊生育诸神的中心。传说阿芙罗狄蒂就 诞生在这个岛上。公元前12世纪迈锡尼人在这里为她建造了庙宇。这里的别墅、宫殿、剧院、要塞和墓地遗迹都表明这个遗址具有非凡的建筑和历史价值。新帕福 斯的马赛克图案是世界上最美丽的图案之一。"
