What do you know about the Knights of Smupliers? Their story is full of myths, legends about imperceptible treasures and secret knowledge. Do you know that their path was closely connected with Cyprus? In the small village of Pano Ardees in 2024, enthusiasts opened a unique museum where you can touch this great era.
At the end of the XII century, or rather in 1192, the Order of the Templars bought Cyprus from Richard the Lion Heart. Although their rule was short -lived, it left a noticeable mark in the history of the island. The villages of Phoenicas and Pano Ardees were their important centers. It was in Pano Ardodes that a group of volunteers from different countries of Europe decided to recreate a piece of that era. So the Museum of the Templar era appeared - a non -profit project created with great love of history.
The Museum of the Templar of Templars is an interactive space where each guest becomes a participant in events. Here you can not just look at armor and weapons. You will be given to try on a heavy knightly helmet and chain mail. You can feel the weight of a real sword in your hands. This is a unique opportunity to feel like a knight or beautiful lady of the Middle Ages.
Test your accuracy
One of the most exciting parts of the museum is an interactive shooting range. Here, everyone can check their accuracy in archery. Experienced instructors will show how to hold a weapon and aim. This entertainment will appeal to both adults and children. And then you can arrange an unforgettable photo shoot in historical costumes. These pictures will be the best souvenir from traveling into the past.
Time travel for the whole family
The museum was created in such a way as to be interesting for the whole family. While adults are immersed in historical details, children can participate in quests. This is an exciting adventure that in a playful way introduces the history of the order. The museum is constantly developing, lectures and temporary exhibitions are held here, so that every visit can bring new discoveries.
