Cathedral of Agia Napa

The Cathedral of Agia Napa is one of the most recognizable and historically significant religious monuments in Limassol, located in the heart of the old town.
Its construction is dated to the late 19th and early 20th century, built on the remains of an earlier Byzantine church, reflecting the continuous religious presence at the site over time. According to tradition, its name is associated with the discovery of an icon of the Virgin Mary in a lush green area (“napa”), while another version links it to an earlier church from the Frankish period. Architecturally, the cathedral combines Byzantine elements with later influences and remains an important landmark for both local residents and the historical identity of the city.

The library has been operating since 2007, supporting the university’s research and teaching activities by providing access to thousands of books, electronic resources, and scientific databases.

Senate Building CUT

The construction of the building began in the late 19th century by the architect and contractor K. Trachanas, originally intended to serve as the residence of the prominent merchant G. Th. Rossides. In 1911, the building was used to house various administrative services of the colonial government. Following the independence of Cyprus in 1960, it accommodated services such as the Post Office, the Land Registry, and the Water Development Department. In 2012, restoration and conservation works were carried out by the Cyprus University of Technology.

Limassol Municipality

The historic Limassol Town Hall is located in the city centre and is one of the most important public buildings in Limassol. It was constructed around 1938, during the British colonial period in Cyprus, at a time when the city was beginning to develop as a major administrative and commercial hub. The building was designed by architect Benjamin (Benzion) Ginsburg, who contributed to the introduction of modern architectural trends on the island, combining simple neoclassical lines with elements of the architectural modernism of the era. Since then, it has continuously served as the seat of the Municipality of Limassol, housing municipal services and remaining a key landmark in the city’s civic and administrative life.

Saripolou Square

Saripolou Square in Limassol takes its name from Saripolou Street, which honours the prominent 19th-century Greek jurist Ioannis Sariopoulos. The area surrounding the square is part of the city’s historic center and was formerly a quiet commercial and residential district, characterised by older buildings and small shops. Its current form began to take shape mainly after the establishment and development of the Cyprus University of Technology in the early 2000s, when the area was gradually revitalised through the presence of students and the renovation of buildings. As a result, what was once a relatively neglected urban neighborhood has evolved into a central hub of student life in Limassol.

The three-storey building stands out for its stone construction, arched openings, and distinctive balconies, while its interior features a courtyard with a fountain, a characteristic element reflecting the traditional architecture of the period.

Fylaktou Arcade

Today, the arcade remains active, hosting retail shops selling tourist goods as well as food and beverage establishments.

According to tradition, the wedding of Richard I the Lionheart and Berengaria of Navarre took place here in 1191, linking the castle to the era of the Crusades. Its exact foundation date remains unknown, although the earliest historical references date to the 13th century. Significant reconstructions were carried out during the Lusignan period and later under Ottoman rule, particularly after the earthquakes of the 16th century, which contributed to its present form. Over the centuries, the castle has served both as a fortress and as a prison. Today, it houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum, featuring exhibits from the Byzantine and medieval periods of the island.
