In the northwest of Larnaca are some of the ruins of ancient Kition, featuring the remains of five temples dating back to the 13th century BC.

Of particular interest is the Phoenician Temple of Astarte, which was built on the ruins of an earlier Bronze Age temple.

The lower part of the northern city walls, built of huge stones resembling Mycenaean cyclopean walls, are also still visible.
