Salamis: the eastern centre of ancient Cyprus
We include Salamis as one of the island’s major ancient cities and a place where the history of the city-kingdoms continues into the Roman and early Christian periods.
Regions
Famagusta and the free south-east
The regional material connects medieval fortifications and cathedrals, twentieth-century villages of memory, museums and viewpoints from which the island’s complex modern history can be seen.
Saint Kendeas Monastery near the ceasefire line
One of the most atmospheric chapters: a concrete wall, a military installation, partly open gates and two nuns in a monastery beside the dividing line.
The Barn at Liopetri
We include the barn as a specific rural memorial to the armed phase of the anti-colonial struggle.
Cultural Centre of Occupied Famagusta at Deryneia
We include Deryneia as a family stop where it is possible to discuss displacement, the closed district of Varosha and the memory of a lost city with care.
Paralimni Municipal Museum of National History
We include this regional museum so that the history of the eastern part of the island is not lost between Nicosia and Paphos.
