Title A name given to the resource Pafos Gate Description An account of the resource Pafos (Paphos) Gate (GPS identification: X: 35.17385, Y: 33.35667) was one of the three entrances into the old town of Lefkosia (Nicosia), through the Venetian walls. It was also known as ‘Gate of San Domenico’, as it replaced an earlier gate of the Frankish walls, called ‘Porta di San Domenico’. The structure is relatively simple and it essentially comprises of an opening to the wall with a barrel vault roof. https://monumentmaterials.omeka.ucy.ac.cy/files/original/afcf39bddf4de75a4f50e52e5e51f965.JPEG ac1ff75d81fce164ae0ad5d5372e2805 https://monumentmaterials.omeka.ucy.ac.cy/files/original/ad9bec6a80ee685082b5c66a9c123b1c.JPEG 6e271c18dc27d891b80caf7f68ca9ed9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Pafos Gate, Nicosia Description An account of the resource Pafos (Paphos) Gate (GPS identification: X: 35.17385, Y: 33.35667) is one of the 3 entrances into the old Lefkosia (Nicosia) town, through the Venetian walls. In fact, this is the smallest of the 3 entrances. It was formerly known as ‘Gate of San Domenico’, as it replaced an earlier gate of the Frankish walls called ‘Porta di San Domenico’, and as the ‘Upper Gate’, because of its high altitude. The structure is fairly simple, essentially comprising of an opening in the wall and a barrel vault roof. It is built with local porous calcarenite stone quarried from the Nicosia Formation. This stone is rich in calcite (60-77%, based on X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of 3 samples collected in-situ). Its porosity and apparent density (EN 1936) range from 25-35% and 1580-1900 kg/m3, respectively. Its comprsesive strength (EN 1926) lies in the region 2.5-7.5 MPa. The aforementioned tests for the characterization of the monument's stone were carried out in 2022, in the framework of a combined laboratory and in situ investigation that was conducted to determine the physico-mechanical properties of the building materials of the Pafos Gate. Sampling and testing was assigned to the Building Materials and LEDRA Laboratories of the University of Cyprus by C. ROUSHAS TRADING AND DEVELOPMENT LIMITED, in agreement with Platonas Stylianou & Associates Civil and Structural Engineering L.C.C.
