Religious Museums in Paphos

Around 9km north of Paphos, the ecclesiastical museum situated within the Agios Neophytos monastery showcases a diverse collection of precious artifacts, including significant icons and various religious items. The monastery itself was established by Neofytos, a reclusive Cypriot writer, around the year 1200, in a once-secluded location at the entrance of a charming valley.

Located in Peristerona, a village in the district of Paphos, the Byzantine Museum of Arsinoe can be found within the Holy Bishopric. Boasting an extensive assortment of icons spanning from the 13th to the 19th centuries, it houses one of the most extensive collections in existence.

The Ecclesiastical Museum of Paphos can be found in the central square of Geroskipou, housed in the same building that once served as the old elementary school of the area.

Inside the museum, visitors can explore a remarkable collection of various items, including icons, ecclesiastical metallic objects like censers, lamps, and candlesticks. Additionally, there is a collection of intricately carved wooden pieces, such as the iconostasis, Royal doors, and crucifixions.
