On Saturday the 9th we took a trip to the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia and visited the Cyprus Museum in the city. The museum has numerous exhibits that span across the entire history of human habitation on the island and many of the artifacts are in incredibly good condition. It was very interesting to see how civilization on the island went through numerous evolutions from the Neolithic Era all the way to the early Byzantine period. after we toured the museum we were allowed to briefly tour the city center and I tool the opportunity to visit some of the city’s prominent holy sites including the Cathedral of St. George. I was also fortunate enough to be able to visit a few mosques in the city and hear the islamic call to prayer for the first time in my life, which was a beautiful experience. I really enjoyed our trip to Nicosia and I am looking forward to our future trips and learning more about the history of Cyprus.
