Report on Archbishop Kyprianos' estate and the impact of construction on the Strovolos reservoir
December 4, 2025
The estate of Archbishop Kyprianos, who was hanged by the Turks in 1821, amounts to 423,730 grosia. Residents of Strovolos are concerned about the construction of a new road that will affect the reservoir that belonged to the Archbishop. Despite their objections, representatives from the Department of Public Works argue that there are no alternative solutions. The Mayor of Strovolos supported the road construction while hoping to preserve the reservoir. The project costs 18 million euros, plus 6 million for land expropriations.
