Set among the hills of a typical Cypriot village Fasoula, surrounded by almond and olive trees, this beautifully landscaped Park is a continuous creation of a passionate artist, Philippos Yiapanis. Here, the natural beauty blends with exceptional works of art, the ancient meets the modern, creating balance and harmony.

The Mikri Salamina is an open-air gallery of bronze and marble sculptures, reflecting the life journey of the artist. On the area of 5500 square meters, set on multiple levels, there are around 140 sculptures on permanent exhibition. You can discover them while wandering through stone-cobbled, curvy pathways, elevated terraces and quiet corners. Here, everything you will see is a result of the artist’s vision, hard work, and his attempt to leave something significant behind.  In his art one can find curved shapes, erotic and fertility motives, silhouettes of birds, snails and fishes. Many sculptures present scenes and figures from Greek mythology.

The different sites in the Park were created steadily, over the years: starting with the showroom and workshop, moving to the Amphitheatre, the Gymnasium and now continuing with creating The Waves. First events in the Park were organized by Famagusta Municipality; then, charity events followed to gather money for people in need. The dream of the artist is to now build a big-scale museum, with more space to exhibit his work, host various events and guest exhibitions.

Established in 2022 by the Charalambos & Elena Pattihis Foundation, the Takis Pattichis Museum of Industrial Pharmacy is the only museum of its kind in Cyprus and probably in the whole world.
The Museum features an eclectic selection of scientific exhibits dedicated to the industrial manufacturing and analysis of medicines and it stands as a tribute to the history of the Cyprus Pharmaceutical Industry and to its founder – Mr. Takis Pattichis.
Starting out in the 1960’s, Takis Pattichis’ vision was to establish the manufacturing and exporting of pharmaceuticals right here in Cyprus, something which he achieved – making Cyprus known as a country manufacturing high-tech products in over 100 other countries.

Visitors of the Museum have the unique opportunity to:
 Learn about the machinery and processes used to manufacture pharmaceutical dosage forms like capsules, tablets, gels / creams / ointments, and syrups.
 Discover some of the relevant analytical instruments and other testing apparatuses used in monitoring and controlling the quality of medicines.
 Explore the development of weighing instruments and see how they have evolved over a period of more than 120 years.
 See original versions of historic books, manuals, guides, and reference books related to Chemistry and to Industrial Pharmacy, some of which date back to the 19th century.
 Understand the complicated manufacturing methods that pharmaceutical companies use to produce the medicines we consume.

All of the Museum’s exhibits have descriptions in both Greek and English as well as QR codes that open up web pages with information and pictures of each individual exhibit.

The Museum also includes an interactive touch screen with many interesting topics including a simple yet extensive Guide to Industrial Pharmacy, as well as posters explaining the process steps of manufacturing various pharmaceutical dosage forms.

The Museum’s main TV screen shows visitors an interesting video on the biography of Takis Pattichis and on the history of the Cyprus Pharmaceutical Industry.

Access: By public transport, by car (parking available near-by), on foot. There are no stairs in the display area of the Museum, so it is suitable for pushchairs / prams and wheelchair users.

Children: The Museum is ideally suitable for children of school age, and children below the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult. 

Amenities: The Museum is located in the heart of the historic Limassol Old Town at the Carob Mill premises. As such, there are many cafes and restaurants in the adjacent buildings, as well as public toilets nearby in the Carob Mill main building itself.
