Idalion or Idalium was an ancient city in Cyprus, in modern Dali, Nicosia District. The city was founded on the copper trade in the 3rd millennium BC. Its name does not appear, however, on the renowned "Kition Stele", i.e., the Sargon Stele of 707 BC, but a little later on the Prism of Esarhaddon known as Niniveh A wherein the name is prefixed by the modifier URU as URU.e-di-ʾi-il and in similar spellings in Ashurbanipal's annal while modified by KUR.
Recent excavations have uncovered major buildings on the site which are open to visitors.
