Culture at the Forefront of the Next Cycle of Projects by the Municipality of Larnaca

The Municipality of Larnaca is preparing a new cycle of projects, with an emphasis on culture, in anticipation of the city being declared the European Capital of Culture for 2030. The total budget for the projects is expected to reach 100 million euros, funded by European funds and other sources. The new cycle includes at least 25 projects, the most important of which is the Common Ground Cultural Center, which will be the headquarters of the “Larnaca 2030” Organization. This project will absorb more than 30 million euros and is currently in the study phase. Common Ground will be a multipurpose building complex in the area of the former refineries, with three main structures: the “House of Memory” (historical archive and exhibitions), the Common Ground Design Center (arts and technology workshop) and the Arts Center (public expression venue and social market). The design of the center has been entrusted to the international firm Foster & Partners, with the aim of creating a unique cultural space that combines tradition with innovation.
