Larnaca - Pierides Museum

With a population of over 50,000, Larnaca is one of the largest cities in Cyprus.

The Pierides Museum is the oldest private museum in Cyprus. The Pierides family, which worked as consuls for various countries, created this collection over five generations with the aim of protecting and preserving Cyprus' antiquities and preventing the loss of the island's history. Since 2000, the museum has been mainly supported by the Cyprus Popular Bank.
