The "Tombs of the Kings" are situated close to the sea in the northwest necropolis of Paphos. The tombs are characterized as belonging to the “kings” due to their size and splendor, not because they really belong to kings - some probably belong to the aristocracy of Paphos. They are carved in rocks dating back to the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Many of them look like normal houses with rooms (a burial room) leading to an atrium. They are very similar to tombs found in Alexandria, demonstrating the close relationship between the two cities during the Hellenistic period.
