Nicosia, Capital of the Republic of Cyprus
The Archbishop's Palace, the official residence and office of the archbishop of Cyprus, built next to the 17th century “Old Archbishop's Palace”, between 1956 and 1960, in neo-Byzantine architectural style. Its general plans were designed by George Nomikos in Athens, while Nicholas S. Roussos and John Pericleous from Limassol were responsible for all other structural work. A life-size marble statue of Archbishop Makarios III replaced the 10 metre bronze statue, now at Kykkos Monastery, in 2008.
