Statue of General Kimon
Commemorating an Athenian general on Larnaca's vibrant Foinikoudes promenade, this statue offers a glimpse into Cyprus's ancient past and its ties to Greece.
The Statue of General Kimon, located on the bustling Foinikoudes promenade in Larnaca, Cyprus, commemorates the Athenian general who sought to liberate Cyprus from Persian rule in the 5th century BC. Kimon's bust, a creation of Pentelic marble by sculptor George Alexandropoulos, has graced the promenade since 1927. The statue is part of the Larnaca Storytelling Statues project, offering visitors a unique interactive experience where they can scan a QR code and listen to the statue recount its history. Surrounded by palm trees, cafes, and the vibrant atmosphere of the promenade, the statue provides a glimpse into Larnaca's ancient connections with Athens and the enduring legacy of a leader who, according to legend, was 'victorious even in death'.
