About Idalion
Idalion grew up around the copper trade near modern Dali from the third millennium BC, run at first by native Eteocypriot rulers before the Phoenician city of Kition conquered it around 450 BC. Its fortified palace stood on the western Ampileri Hill acropolis; the eastern hill held temples to Apollo and Aphrodite. Excavated since 1867, the site yielded the Idalion Tablet, a fifth-century BC bronze inscription recording payments to physicians during a Persian siege, now shown in the on-site museum.
