Aggeliki sotiriou monument Kivides

 The bronze bust is dedicated to Angeliki Sotiriou "Filimon" and is supported on a marble slab and stones. The unveiling took place in 1990.The bust is located on the main street of the community of Pano Kyvidon in the Limassol district. 

It is the creation of sculptor Nikolaos Kotziamanis. The artist Nikolaos Kotziamanis was born in 1946 in Morphou. After graduating from Morphou High School, he went to England to study. He lives and works there to this day.

He participated in many group exhibitions in England, America, Paris and other countries. Many of his sculptures adorn many cities in Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Cuba and other countries abroad.
The woman, Ageliki sotiriou, used to own a coffee shot where travellers would rest and have their coffee. Few, however, knew that Angeliki, who served the patrons like a syphon, was a fearless woman who hid guerrillas and munitions in her home during the EOKA liberation struggle.
