Aqua Memoria At Fabrica Hill
Take Care!
 
    This sign was interesting. It informs us that this is another area where they are doing some active digging.
 
    
            
        
        
    
    
    What Lurks Beneath?
 
    I wonder what they will uncover? Anyway, I feature this room because Exhibit Number 6 is next to it.
Hydrolatry, Susan Vargas
 
    I have no idea what this is supposed to represent. Fortunately though, there is the information sign to help us.
More Information
 
    This is the first part of the information page. There is more so scan the code with a phone to read it:
Susan Vargas's work entitled Aqua Memoria: Hydrolatry is conceived as an immersive installation that brings together three fundamental elements- water, salt, and flour- to offer a contemporary reinterpretation of ancient rituals. Originally from South America, the artist weaves into her work the intertwined legacies of ancient Mediterranean cultures, European Christianity, and Latin American ritual traditions, thereby creating a universal language rooted in matter and gesture.
The installation unfolds within a cavity located in the upper part of the site, once used as a place of worship during the Christian period. In this memory-laden space, a carpet of salt and flour marks a path between two water basins, forming a physical, sensory, and symbolic axis of passage. This arrangement invites crossing, evoking purification and transitional rituals from ancient and Christian traditions: Roman illustrations, salt blessings, Christian baptism, and the sacraments linked to flour transformed into eucharistic bread.
 
    It is definitely worthwhile reading the pdf documentation, as it contains a lot of information on the area itself, as well as the art installation.

                Let's Take a Look At Fabrica Hill
We've driven past Fabrica Hill many times over the years, and often wondered what was up there. (It's the area of land diagonally opposite The Mall, in case you didn't know). After comments and photos started appearing on the forum about the erection of a raised walkway, we decided a visit was overdue. With no expectations of what we would see when we got there, other than a vague feeling of disappointment that despite what it looked like, they weren't building a roller coaster, this is what we found. 
            
                Fabrica Hill in 2023
A few years ago we took you on a tour around Fabrica Hill. As it is an Archaeological Site you could be forgiven for thinking that it hasn't changed in that time, but you would be wrong. There is still plenty of Archaeology waiting to be discovered there, and every year there are new digs. So how have things changed since we were last there?Good Pages To Visit

                    eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
                    Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road. 
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings. 
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
