The capital of Cyprus is investing heavily in the reconstruction of historical buildings.
A new cultural space has recently opened in the centre of Nicosia on Aristokipro Street. Called "Kimera" (from the Greek "meraki", which means "to do something with soul, creativity, love and zeal"), it is located in a beautiful neoclassical building from 1896. The atmosphere of another era is combined with comfort and luxury, and the historical object has been completely restored. The building has been renovated and is now fit for purpose.
The multifunctional hall is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities and equipment for a wide range of events, including seminars, presentations, conferences, educational and informative lessons, masterclasses and corporate parties. The availability of modern equipment, screens and a sound system allows us to host events of varying levels. We also offer a professional and aesthetic configuration of the space for each event type.
It should be noted that the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) previously recognised the need to address maintenance issues, especially for monuments, and launched a renovation programme for historic properties in Nicosia.
The scheme is designed to prevent the deterioration and collapse of buildings. Interested parties can provide subsidies for the rehabilitation of historic buildings. The budget of the programme is 100 thousand euros. At the same time, the Ministry of the Interior of Cyprus also allocates money for the complete restoration of historic buildings every 20 years. The state will provide two-thirds of the owner's costs, up to a maximum of 20 thousand euros. Furthermore, the MIA provides interim financial support every 10 years.
