Archaeology & Nature Museum

The Museum of archeology and nature, which is located in the city center of Guzelyurt, was opened in 1979, after the restoration of the building. On the ground floor of the museum, there is a department of natural history, where visitors can see stuffed animals and birds, as well as unique examples of various rocks and specimens of flora and fauna found in Cyprus.

On the first floor, there are exhibits of the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages, as well as artifacts found during excavations in the ancient cities of Soli and Vouni, including gold wreaths found in Soli in 2005. Museum rooms are numbered and each of them offers exhibits devoted to a specific time for the island and its historical past. Ancient bracelets and gold jewelry, treasures found in Soli, and other artifacts are displayed here. Many exhibits are dated to the fourth or fifth centuries BC. One of the most important and ancient exhibits is a carved statue of the goddess of fertility, dating to the second century AD, which was found in the area of Salamis in 1980. Those who want to see unique exhibits can visit the museum on any day except Sunday. Museum doors are open to the public from 9 to 17 hours.

This plain museum is around the corner from the major tourist attraction of St. Mamas Church and Icon Museum.
