Biography
View old mayors

Limassol was created between two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion. During Byzantine rule the town was known as Neapolis (new town). The historical centre of the town is situated around the medieval Limassol Castle and the Old Port.

In 1878 the British took over in Cyprus. The first British governor of Limassol was Colonel Warren, he has improved the condition of the town immediately. From the very first years of the British occupation, a post and a telegraph offices and a hospital were established. The first printing press started to work in the town in 1880. At the end of the 19th century the very first hotels began to operate.

These improvements contributed also to the development of an intellectual and artistic life. Schools, theatres, art galleries, clubs, music halls, sport clubs etc. were set up and changed the cultural life of Limassol.
