Three quarters the way up the great eastern peninsula the Romans built watch towers, and dug limestone out of the mountains and hauled it all over the Mediterranian. A good harbour every mile or so, and a great one every 5 or six miles meant that it was worth the trouble to build a nice road all the way up the Karpaz peninsula, and the nice breezes meant for lovely views and a nice place to have a villa. The above villa was adapted to become a church. A latin church, though the apse below seems to make that a lie.
This, a former atrium, is cobbled with some of the most original inlay I have ever seen. I have NEVER seen that swirling pattern in any villa or church floor before. Its gorgeous.
