Panoramic view from Kourion archaeological site
Archaelogical evidence and historical sources strongly suggest that Kourion is one of the most important and glorious ancient kingdoms of Cyprus. It is believed that a total of twelve kingdoms (Paphos, Salamis, Kition, Kourion, Amathous, Marion, Soloi, Tamassos, Idalion, Ledres, Chytroi and Lapithos) existed in ancient Cyprus, each having the role of an urban and administrative center.
