Pierides Museum

The collection was initiated by Demetrios Pierides, in the 19th century (1811 - 1895), with the aim of protecting and preserving Cyprus' antiquities and preventing the loss of the island's history.

The archaeological collection is housed in the old residence of the Pierides family, a colonial style building, built in 1825.

Currently the museum is managed by Peter Ashdjian, an 8th generation Pierides.

Objects on display include Red Polished Ware from the early Bronze Age,[3] Roman glassware and medieval ceramic dishes.
