Work to restart on ten cultural heritage sites across Cyprus
May 11, 2020
Even during the difficult situation posed by the coronavirus pandemic the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage has continued its weekly meetings though teleconferencing to review priorities and future activities, it said on Monday.
“We have continued honouring our mandate whilst at the same time ensuring that we fully adhere to the lockdown restrictions,” the statement said.
Over the coming weeks in accordance with the lifting of applicable restrictions, the committee and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will oversee the safe resumption of works at ten cultural heritage sites across Cyprus, specifically seven mosques in the Paphos, Limassol and Larnaca districts, the resumption of conservation works for two churches and the start of the second phase for the Apostolos Andreas Monastery.
