Discover more about The Water Museum

The Water Museum in Limassol offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of water management and its significance to the region. Established by the Water Board of Limassol, the museum opened in 2008 and is housed in the restored old pumping station, known as "Neromichani" (Water Engine). This building, dating back to 1925, is a historical landmark. The pumping station played a crucial role in extracting water from the Garyllis River delta aquifer, a pioneering system for Cyprus. The water was then transported to the Limassol Water Tower, ensuring the city's water supply. The museum's exhibits showcase a range of artifacts and instruments used for pumping, measuring, and purifying water. Visitors can explore archaeological items, photographic material, and a short film that highlights the importance of water for the planet, Cyprus, and Limassol. The museum also emphasizes the vital relationship between humans and water, promoting responsible water usage and conservation. Educational programs are available for students of all levels.
