"Cyprus: Historical and Descriptive" by Franz von Löher is a historical account published in the late 19th century. This work explores the island of Cyprus, detailing its rich history and cultural significance, particularly in light of recent political events that have drawn attention to the region. The book covers the geography, historical ruins, and local customs, providing readers with a thorough understanding of Cyprus's past and its present condition. The opening of the narrative introduces Larnaka, the chief seaport of Cyprus, as the author describes his arrival and first impressions of the town and its surroundings. Löher observes the contrasting beauty of the natural landscape against the backdrop of a bustling port filled with diverse cultures and traditions. He details the architecture, including churches and ancient relics, while reflecting on the island's history from the Phœnicians to the present, highlighting significant sites such as the church of St. Lazarus and ancient graveyards. As he begins to explore the town, readers are offered insights into the lives of its inhabitants and the broader historical context that shapes Cyprus today.
