Stroumpi Murals

Post by Dominic »

If you drive along the B7 from Paphos to Polis, you will eventually hit Stroumpi. It is about midway between the two towns, and nestled on the Paphos Hills. If you look to your right as you ascend the hill, you will notice some lovely murals adorning the walls. In due course, I will write a blog on the whole of Stroumpi, but today, I just want to concentrate on these murals...

Read the article and chat about it below...

Page 3: What I believe is that it means:" The uncertainty" below the mural of the lady. Uncertainty perhaps you never know if there is another earthquake which destroyed Pano Stroumpi in 1953 and killed many of the inhabitants.

The ruined building on the main road opposite the murals, with the chairs inside, is probably one of the destroyed wineries in that quake.

Nice pics anyhow, Dominic
