Archbishop's Palace, Archbishop's palace and castle in Nicosia, Cyprus
The Archbishop's Palace features a two-story structure with high arches, large windows, and decorative moldings in neo-Byzantine architectural style in central Nicosia.
The new palace, constructed between 1956 and 1960, stands next to the old Archbishop's Palace, which dates back to the 17th century.
The Byzantine Museum within the palace presents a collection of icons from the 9th to 14th centuries, church plates, and sections of the iconostasis.
While the private areas remain closed, visitors can access the Byzantine Museum, Folk Art Museum, and National Struggle Museum located on the palace grounds.
The palace grounds previously displayed a 30-foot-tall bronze sculpture of Makarios III weighing 13 tons, which now resides at Kykkos monastery.
