Overview

The National Struggle Museum in Omodos, Cyprus was created on October 28th, 1960 by a group of inhabitants to honor the contribution of Omodos to the national struggles. The committee consisted of Giorgos Papadopoulos, Ioannis Sokratous, Polykarpos Perdikis, Christakis Antoniou, Georgios Tzivitanidis, Fofo Nikolaidou, and Andreas Stylianidis. They gathered material from families of fallen EOKA heroes, including personal items, uniforms, documents, and photographs. The first National Struggle Museum in Cyprus was housed in a hall of the Monastery of the Holy Cross. In July 1999, the museum was re-formed and re-housed in another hall of the Monastery with expenses paid by the Historical Memory Council for the EOKA Struggle 1955-1959 and the Church Committee of the Holy Cross Church in Omodos.
