Sol Alter, Bronze sculpture in Kato Paphos, Cyprus
The Sol Alter sculpture depicts a young woman positioned against a rock, gazing towards the sea near Paphos Castle along the coastal promenade.
Created by artist Yiota Ioannidou, this sculpture was installed in 2016 as part of the Pafos2017 European Capital of Culture celebration program.
The figure pays tribute to Aphrodite, referencing the mythological connection between Cyprus and the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty.
Located near the medieval castle, this bronze and stone artwork provides visitors an opportunity to explore contemporary art within a historical setting.
The name Sol Alter, meaning Another Sun, refers to Pythagoras's designation for Venus, creating a connection between astronomical and mythological elements.
