Near Petra tou Romiou, there is Palaepaphos. Old Paphos, one of the most celebrated places of pilgrimage of the ancient Greek world, and once the ancient capital of the kingdom of Cyprus. Paphos is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (xiii.6) as having been visited by Paul of Tarsus, when it was to have been the residence of the Roman governor; it is said that Paul converted the governor, Sergius Paulus, to Christianity. Northeast of Paphos lies Ayios Neophytos Monastery, famous for its 'Encleistra', Enclosure, carved out of the mountain by the hermit himself, which boasts some of the finest Byzantine frescoes of the 12th and 15th centuries.
