Description
DESCRIPTION:
This
is where the first ancient (Mycenaean) Greeks settled, who emigrated to
Cyprus at around 1200 BC after the fall of the Mycenaean Kingdoms in
mainland Greece. It is a very important site for Cyprus because this is
where Hellenism on the island originated.
The little museum with its unusual architecture is the work
of Andrea Bruno, Professor at the University of Turin and one of
Europe's greatest architects. The Museum depicts the colonisation of
Cyprus by the Mycenaean Greeks.
