Located at the start of the Foinikoudes promenade on Europe Square, the Municipal Historical Archives - Museum of Larnaka (Larnaca) are part of the Municipal Cultural Centre that is housed in the complex of 1881 British Colonial buildings. Following their restoration, the buildings earned the 1996 ‘Europa Nostra’ award.
The Museum of Larnaka is on the ground floor of the restored residence and offices of the first colonial Port Master of Larnaka, whilst the Municipal Historical Archives are situated on the second floor.
The exhibits of the museum are related to the history of Larnaka and include a large collection of coins from the city-kingdom of Kition (late 6th century), along with photographs of the city from 1850 onwards.
The Municipal Historical Archives, which consist of rare books, documents and articles, are accessible only to researchers.
