Archaeology Museum

After 18 months of work, this new building was completed and opened in Iskele in 2018.

The Iskele-Karpaz region is where evidence of the first human settlements in Cyprus were discovered and this museum houses over 2,000 artefacts that were previously stored in St Barnabas museum. The exhibits are from 8 historical periods, from Neolithic through to the Roman era.

The cultural heritage of many civilisations has been carried through to this new gallery, displaying over 10,000 years of history.

The artefacts on show have been collected, preserved and brought together from various local excavations.

Modern as it is, this museum was designed to serve all ages. The relics and delicate pieces include jewellery, fine pottery, large sculptures and antiques.
