The Cyprus Museum is the largest archaeological museum on the island, showcasing the development of Cyprus’ civilization from the Neolithic Age to the Early Byzantine period. Its extensive collections include pottery, jewellery, sculpture, coins, and other artefacts exhibited in chronological order.

Notable pieces include the cross-shaped idol, Early Bronze Age pottery, golden jewellery from the Late Bronze Age, and the statue of Aphrodite from Soloi.

A new, modern building is currently under construction near the existing museum to replace the British colonial-era structure from 1908.

Archbishop’s Palace

  • Archbishop Kyprianou Square

The Archbishop’s Palace, situated in Nicosia, serves as the official residence and administrative center for the archbishop of Cyprus.

Built between 1956 and 1960 in the neo-Byzantine architectural style, it stands adjacent to the “Old Archbishop’s Palace” dating back to the 17th century. Previously, the palace grounds housed the bronze sculpture of Makarios III, the first president of Cyprus, sculpted by Nikolas Kotziamannis.

However, the statue has since been relocated to the Kykkos Monastery. Weighing approximately 13 tons and towering at 30 feet, it remains a remarkable artistic feat. While the Archbishop’s Palace itself is not accessible to the public, the Byzantine Museum, Library of the Archbishopric, Folk Art Museum, and the National Struggle Museum, located on its premises, welcome visitors.
