THE HEADQUARTERS 
(HOUSE OF KOSTAS CHRISTODOULOU) 
 
Kostas Christodoulou built this residence according to the plans of the architect Theodoros Fotiadis between 1920 and 1921 on the site of three older houses, elements of which have been preserved and harmoniously integrated into the new building: a medieval doorway on the west facade; a traditional bath of the 18th century; and an octagonal pool joined to a square cistern, both of which also date back to the 18th century. The house is one of the important old buildings in the historic centre of Nicosia. The Centre of Cultural Heritage has been housed in the building from the 1st of March 1993. A small botanic garden has been created in the yard of the house.
