Famagusta – Old Town + Ghosttown – Pics

The old town of Famagusta is so steeped in history that it could be described as one big open-air museum. Here, among the ruins, you can explore a romantic setting full of palm trees and bougainvillea. Over the centuries, the city has been ruled by different rulers and cultures, which is reflected in the buildings and architecture.

The old town is surrounded by a stone wall built by the Lusignans around 1300. What makes this wall so special is that it is so well preserved and intact.

Ancient Salamis – Things to know

Salamis was an Iron Age city-kingdom and ancient city at the mouth of the Pediaios River in Cyprus. It lies on the long bay of Famagusta, only 6 km north of Famagusta.

According to legend, the founder of Salamis was Teukros, son of Telamon, king of the Greek island of Salamis of the same name. He is said to have landed in Cyprus after the destruction of Troy, built a temple to Zeus and married Eune, the daughter of Kinyras. His father-in-law, Kinyras, was the father of Adonis. more »

Famagusta – Things to know

The city was founded around 274 BC by Ptolemy II after Salamis had been severely damaged by an earthquake. Arsinoe was described in the first century BC by Strabon in his Geographica as a „fishing town“. It remained a small fishing village for a long time. Later, when Salamis was gradually cleared during the Arab invasion under Muawiyah I, it developed into a small port.

The turning point for Famagusta from a small village to a town came in 1192 with the onset of Lusignan rule. It was during this period that Famagusta developed into a fully fledged town. It became increasingly important in the Eastern Mediterranean because of its natural harbour and the walls that protected its inner city. Its population began to grow.
