An unusually interesting Byzantine Museum is located in the vicinity of the Bishopric of Paphos. Here is a large collection of Byzantine icons, mainly from the 12th - 19th centuries, collected from churches and monasteries in the Paphos region.

The oldest icon - the icon of the Mother of God Eleusa (the Merciful) from the church of the monastery of St. Sava of Karon - dates back to about 1200 AD.
