In an old stone-built school, next to the archaeological site of the Basilica of Saint Andrew, the Archaeological Collection of Eresos contains finds from the ancient town of the same name.
The exhibition illuminates the locals’ life from the Late Helladic to the Early Christian period by means of thematic sections: in the “Religion and Cult” section one can marvel at a rare statuette of Cybele, while a terracotta larnax stands out in the “Burial Customs” section. Information about the residents’ everyday life, both public and private, can be drawn from a variety of commonly used vessels discovered during archaeological digs.
Large architectural members (Ionic and Doric column capitals, sections of friezes and cornices), originally from temples and public buildings around the city, are exhibited in the partially open-air area of the small Museum.
