History
Vouni is located on the northwest coast of Cyprus, some 7 km west of Soloi. The rocky hill was occupied in antiquity and the settlement included a fortified palace enclosure, the ancient name of which is unknown. According to PECS, the palace is to be dated ca. 500 to 380 BCE, with two main architectural phases (I: ca. 500 to 450 BCE, II: ca. 450 to 380 BCE).
