The Amiantos mine in Troodos led to the formation of a significant settlement in the region, which primarily consisted of mine workers and their families. Thus, a large number of dwellings, shops, as well as a school and a hospital, arose in the region. In addition to the scars on the mined mountain, the abandoned mine structures reveal the former inhabitants of the area. The historic hospital, a building with characteristic colonial style, appears to be frozen in time. The building that functioned for more than half a century has survived the ravages of time without being fully demolished. Touring its inside provides a glimpse of its former existence, creating the impression that some of the tens of thousands of souls that have gone through it have “haunted” it.
