Limassol is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and capital of the eponymous district. Limassol is the second largest urban area in Cyprus. Limassol was built between two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and during Byzantine rule it was known as Neapolis (new town). Limassol's historical centre is located around its medieval Limassol Castle and the Old Port. Today the city spreads along the Mediterranean coast and has extended much farther than the castle and port, with its suburbs stretching along the coast to Amathus. There are many archaeological parks in its vicinity, as well as museums and churches.

Famed for its archaeological site and rich history, this popular city also offers beaches, remarkable landmarks, and great food.

Cyprus' capital and its largest city boasts many historic monuments, great museums, castles, and churches.
