Pano Panagia Attractions Páno Panayiá

On the west of Troodos, one-and-a-half kilometers from Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery, is Pano Panagia, the birthplace of Archbishop Makarios III, first President of Cyprus. The house where he was born has been converted into a museum.

Visitors can see his parents' bed, plates and various photographs of him and his family. The house demonstrates clearly the archbishop's humble origins.

In the main square there is also a small museum and a cultural center, which has more photographs of Makarios' presidency and various items of clothing, including items burned in the coup of 1974. There is also a small library and photographs of recent cultural events.
