The Museum

Taken on a visit to the Mycenaean settlement of Cyprus Museum (Maa-Palaiokastro – near Coral Bay).
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 (it's like a sunken "spaceship", it really is sunk into the ground) with historical information to be found. It's 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.
