Municipal Art Center "Papadakis Warehouses" is an exhibition space in the very center of Limassol. As the name suggests, it is located in former commercial warehouse buildings.
The reconstruction of the warehouses and their transformation into an exhibition space was carried out by the architect Sevina Florida. In her opinion, we are talking about the oldest warehouse that has survived in Limassol. It represents an architectural monument from the period of transition from the Ottoman era in the history of Cyprus to British rule.
The warehouse complex consists of two buildings built of adobe (raw brick) with tiled roofs. The buildings are located at a distance of only 1.5 meters from one another. The warehouses were declared a historical and architectural monument in 1995. They were presented to the city by their owners - the Papadakis family.
On 17 December 2017, the opening ceremony of the new exhibition space in the warehouse premises was led by President Nikos Anastasiades in the presence of the Mayor of Limassol Nikos Nikolaidis and philanthropist Stafis Papadakis.
