Hadjipanteli house restoration in Limnia completed

The bicommunal technical committee on cultural heritage has announced the completion of the restoration of the 18th-century Hadjipanteli house in Limnia, Famagusta district. Declared an ancient monument in 1971, the building features traditional Cypriot architecture and incorporates secondary architectural elements and stone carvings possibly derived from the Salamis archaeological site and medieval ruins. Restoration efforts included structural repairs to stone, roof, and brick elements, preservation of carvings, and renovations of wooden floors and the courtyard. The project was funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. Limnia was historically a Greek Cypriot village before its population fled in 1974; it is currently inhabited by Turkish Cypriots displaced from other districts. The committee stated that the project aims to preserve the cultural memory of the region. The village is known by a Turkish name in the post-1974 era.
