Pancyprian Gymnasium Museums

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:29:01

Dating back to 1812, and the oldest school still operating in Cyprus, there are several museums here spread throughout a 12-room space. Highlights include an extensive natural-history collection, an exhibit of Gothic sculptures and an art gallery with works by local painters. Lawrence Durrell, author of Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, taught English at the school for several years in the 1950s.
