Surround, Millo's Tower
A public wall, this time, for a painter who lost a private one.
Listen to this place’s story in Peplos.
How the story begins
A lost wall in Paphos is the reason this water tower has a woman on it. The Italian painter Millo had made a mural in Paphos for the city's year as European Capital of Culture. The building was private. Its owners decided to renovate, to protect the outside from damage and damp. They said they were art lovers and did not mean to destroy anything. But the wall was painted over, mural included.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
