The Temple Of Zues

Where the Temple of Zeus used to be, in an ancient Greek city dating back to 3000 years ago has been under the rule of the Romans, Greeks, Alexander the Great, Persians, Byzantines and Christians. It currently falls within the illegally occupied areas of the Turkish military since the 1974 war. The Turkish government forbids archaeologists from digging at the site, in fact, much of it has been neglected and fallen to ruin, Many people have looted and damaged the precious historical site over the years. Saint Barnabas the founder of the church of Cyprus was also stoned to death in the city, Salamis was finally abandoned during the Arab invasions of the 7th century - Salamis.
