Historic clock restored to Paphos City Hall facade

The iconic clock that once adorned the facade of Paphos City Hall has been repaired and reinstalled in its original position, ending a long period of absence during which the mechanism was kept in municipal storage. The return of the timepiece was announced on October 6, 2026, by the Acting Mayor of Paphos, Angelos Onisiforou.

Acting Mayor Onisiforou emphasized that while some might view the clock as a minor detail, it serves as a vital element of the city's visual identity and cultural character. He noted that such public landmarks are integral to the daily lives of residents and visitors alike, acting as essential reference points that contribute to a more cared-for and vibrant urban environment. The decision to restore and reposition the clock aims to restore a familiar piece of the municipal building's history, reconnecting the community with a long-standing feature of the city's cityscape. The restoration project is considered a symbolic improvement to the city's aesthetic and civic presence, marking the conclusion of the maintenance efforts.
