The remains of a large building complex area (200 m²) dating to the Roman period, were discovered during excavations at the site of Vlou. This is located 2.5 km. northeast of Anogyra village (Lemesos District).
According to an announcement by the Department of Antiquities of the Ministry of Communications and Works, the excavations, which have been completed, were conducted by the Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, under the direction of Dr. V.A. Goroncharovskiy.
It says that it is probable that the site was part of a rural sanctuary of Apollo (4thcentury BC – 4th century AD).
During previous field seasons, two service rooms and a main cult room and courtyard on the central axis of construction were excavated. The courtyard has now been uncovered entirely (about 65 sq. m).
