Pierides Museum
The Pierides Museum can be characterised as one of the most important museums of Cyprus since the collection contains the most important and characteristic presentation of Cyprus civilization through the centuries. The archaeological collection is housed in the residence of the Pierides family, built in 1815, where the visitor can travel through the ages covering 9000 years of the island's history beginning from Neolithic times through to the Bronze Age, Geometric, Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine-Medieval age.
A very important cartography collection of old maps and charts of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean is also housed in the Pierides Museum. As well as the prized collection of Greek and Roman glassware.
Finally in the garden of the museum, the visitor can stroll through a modern sculpture gallery with works by important Greek and Cypriot artists.
