Discover more about The Water Museum

The Water Museum in Limassol offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of water management and its vital role in the region. Located at 66 Franklin Roosevelt Street, the museum is housed in the restored old pumping station, known as "Neromichani" (Water Engine), which was built in 1925. This building is a historical landmark, included in the List of Preserved Buildings by the Department of Town Planning and Housing. Established in 2008 by the Water Board of Lemesos (Limassol), the museum aims to raise public awareness about water conservation and showcase the historical significance of water management. The pumping station played a crucial role in extracting water from the Garyllis River delta aquifer, a pioneering system for Cyprus. The station transported water through pipelines to the Limassol Water Tower, ensuring the city's water supply. Inside, visitors can explore a blend of historical exhibits and modern displays. Permanent exhibits showcase archaeological artifacts provided by the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, along with a collection of rare objects and instruments used for pumping, measuring, and purifying water. The museum also features thematic sections with photographic material and a short film, highlighting the importance of water for the planet, Cyprus, and Limassol. Interactive games and films engage visitors of all ages, making the learning experience both informative and enjoyable.
