Νeoclassical Buildings of Cyprus, Definitive Ιssue
Description
Τhe building known as the “Lyssiotis Mansion”, and situated on Makarios III Avenue, Lefkosia, is the work of architect Photiades. It was built in 1928-9 by Petros Aloneftis and given as dowry to his daughter Maria.
Its thin columns, noteworthy Ionic column capitals, arched verandas and vaulted windows give it a distinctive and impressive character. The poet Xanthos Lyssiotis lived and worked here.
In 1995 the building was bought by the National Bank of Greece (Cyprus). After restorations and renovations it currently houses the offices of the bank.
Τhe 40c stamp depicts one of the most significant neoclassical buildings in the centre of Pafos which reflect a unique beauty from yesteryears. Built in 1944-46 during the mayoralty of Christodoulos Galatopoulos, it was intended to house thousands of books and treasures of knowledge. The plans were laid by architect Andreas Christodoulides who also supervised the construction of this charming building.
