The area around Limassol has been inhabited since the Stone Age and encompassed two ancient city-kingdoms: Kourion and Amathus. It is assumed that the city was founded by settlers from Amathus. The first recorded mention of the place dates to 451 AD, and the name Lemesos to the 10th century. The museum was founded in 1948 and has been housed in a modern building since 1975, which has been further extended in recent years. Faience amulet depicting the Eye of Horus 9th - 4th c BC
