Palace of Vouni

c. 500 BCE · 6th century BCE

The Palace of Vouni stands on a hilltop above the north-west coast of Cyprus, near ancient Soloi. Built around 500 BCE, perhaps by a pro-Persian ruler of Marion to watch over Soloi after the revolt against Persia, it was later rebuilt in Greek style and was destroyed by fire around 380 BCE. Its excavated rooms, courtyard and cisterns are among the best-known remains of the Cypriot city-kingdoms.
