Arts & Culture
The Archaeological Museum of Kissamos is housed
in a Venetian-Turkish monument, known as
the Headquarters. It is located in the Venetian
residential area, outside the wall of the Venetian
castle, “Castel Chissamos”, from which the previous
name of the town, Kastelli, derives. During the
Turkish occupation of the island the castle was
enlarged and the building was enclosed inside the
fortification walls. Over time the monument was
remodeled many times; the last one being its recent
transformation into this Museum in 2000.
The exhibits present the history of the Kissamos
district, from the Prehistoric period through
late antiquity (Early Christian period).
