Renovation of Hatzigeorgakis Kornesios Mansion Ahead of Cyprus's EU Presidency
October 4, 2025
The Republic of Cyprus is set to take over the presidency of the EU Council in the first half of 2026, prompting maintenance work on historical monuments. One such site is the house of Hatzigeorgakis Kornesios, which is long overdue for extensive renovation. The work includes restoring the dangerous wooden balcony and other parts of the building. The renovation is expected to be completed in time for events related to the Cypriot presidency. The house is a significant example of 18th-century Cypriot architecture and serves as a museum.
