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.

The ancient stadium of Kourion

 Kourion was an important city-kingdom in antiquity and stands as one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Cyprus.

Located 20km west of Lemesos (Limassol), on the road to Pafos (Paphos), Kourion Stadium is the only ancient stadium found in Cyprus. Dating back to the 2nd century, the stadium had a capacity for 6.000 spectators and was the site of pentathlon events in ancient times.

The site is free admission.

The medieval bridge of yermasoyia Limassol

 

Though the stone-built, Venetian bridge is no longer the main focal point of the parking area created at the passing of the Amathus River, its timeless presence in the area indicates the historical significance of this particular site.

The medieval bridge is built on the riverbed of the Germasogeia River, which lends its name to the area that has enjoyed heavy tourist activity over the last few decades. Prior to this tourism boom, however, this location was merely a part of the Limassol countryside, and the bridge served the needs of people traveling to and from the surrounding rural areas. Its historical significance lies in the fact that it is one of the few remaining medieval monuments in an area which has experienced a radical shift in character.

Locals still refer to the stone-built bridge by names that were used in the previous century, such as ‘paliogefiro’ (old bridge) or ‘Bridge of Aristos.’ Initially, the construction comprised two acute arches, though in the early 1950s, during the implementation of projects for the organization and alignment of the river bed, another arch was added, which is why this third arch differs significantly from the other two. In 1990, the bridge was declared an ancient monument and restored, and today is under the care of the Department of Antiquities
