Conservation work on the mosque in the village of Alaminos in the Larnaca region will begin in the near future. This was announced by Ali Tuncay, co-chairman of the Intercommunity Working Committee on Cultural Heritage.
The work will be carried out by the same contractor who worked on the mosque in Kalavasos.
Work will start immediately after the mosque in Kalavasos is renovated. These will include whitewashing the building inside and out, filling and sealing cracks in vaults and walls, and repairing wooden doors and window frames. The project is funded by the European Union with the support of the United Nations Development Program.
Meanwhile, frescoes were discovered in a mosque in the village of Kritou Thera in the Paphos region. Artistic motifs were found under the plaster on the walls, but there was no record of the walls being painted.
This once again shows how much unknown cultural wealth remains in Cyprus.
“Our work symbolizes our determination to pass on historical and cultural values to future generations,” said Ali Tuncay.
On July 26, the Intercommunity Working Committee for Cultural Heritage announced the start of conservation work on the Church of St. Paraskeva in Famagusta.
