Lambousa was a Byzantine city on the north coast of Cyprus and probably its heyday was in the 7th century CE. It’s most famous for the discovery of a collection of silver plates there in the early 20th century. But for me, the rock cut fish traps are Lambousa’s most compelling artifacts. I took this picture the first time I visited there; this one of the largest of the traps. During high tide fish would be either driven or lured into the pools, then their escape cut off by a sluice gate. Fresh fish could then be scooped out and sold fresh from the tanks. I did a video of them in later years. Not a cinematic masterpiece, but I had fun.
