When was it built

The original silk factory was built in 1925; it was considered one of the city’s modern landmarks at the time.

What's the story

The silk factory shut down in the 1950s thanks to rayon’s invasion of the textile market. It was renovated and transformed into a cultural, entertainment and conference centre in 2000.

Why it's important

The venue is also home to the small Pierides Museum of Ancient Cypriot Art.
