Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology (PW), the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and the University of Warsaw (UW) are developing 3D models of the ancient Cypriot city of Nea Paphos. The implemented methodology is innovative and used in a few archaeological sites. The research is carried out with support of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus.

The project “MA-P Maloutena and Agora in the urban plan of Paphos: Modeling the urban landscape of the capital of Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus” is carried out by three Polish universities in cooperation with geophysicists from the University of Hamburg. The project manager is Prof. Ewdoksia Papuci-Władyka from the Jagiellonian University.

The main goal of the project is to recreate the urban layout of the ancient city of Nea Paphos, located on a peninsula in the southwestern part of Cyprus. Much of the area of ​​the ancient city is located in the Archaeological Park, created to protect the cultural heritage, but also an important tourist attraction of modern Paphos.
