Paul and Barnabas visited Cyprus in 45 AD to introduce the Jews to Christ. Once the Jews rejected him the Gentiles were interested in hearing of his religion, but Paul got arrested and whipped due to an upstanding Jewish man who got the governor of that island to whip him in public on a pillar. This same pillar is a modern tourist attraction today as St. Paul's Pillar in Paphos.
The column of Paul is located in the church of Santa Maria Chrysopolitissa in Paphos. The church building seems to to have been built in the 5th century.
