The archaeological Museum located in the centre of Larnaca is the third largest settlement of Cyprus is the ideal place for lovers of antiquity. It contains a rich collection of antiquities found in the territory where now stands the city.

The Museum was established in 1969, then it was just two exhibition halls, but in 1987 and 1988, his exposition was greatly expanded. The Museum's collection consists of objects that belong to different historical eras – from the Neolithic period to Roman times. Most of it had been found on the sites of ancient settlements of Choirokoitia (Khirokitia) and Awning. Surprisingly, these settlements were founded before the period of navigation, which immediately sparked a lot of questions about how people were able to get from the mainland to the island. Over time, scientists came to the conclusion that Cyprus became an island after a major earthquake, and before that was the one with the territory of Syria.

A special place in the collection belongs to the artifacts discovered on the territory of the ancient city of Kition, the ruins of which are located approximately 1 kilometer from the Museum, so visitors, if desired, can even watch the process of the excavations, still in progress. So, there were found some fine alabaster vases, coins, lamps, statues, and tools.

Just two main halls of the Museum you can see the products of ivory, ceramics, faience and alabaster, fragments of columns, the statues of pagan gods, reconstruction of ancient dwellings and structures.
