The initial phase of the renovation work on Larnaca’s Piale Pasha promenade has been successfully finished and is now open to the public.

Recent updates from the contractor reveal that the concrete safety barrier on the seafront has been repaired. Crews are currently addressing further repairs along the entire length of the promenade, which has suffered significant damage from erosion and heavy waves. The project’s completion date has been extended to the end of this year due to more extensive erosion of the seawall than initially estimated. The work, originally slated for completion by September, is now facing delays.

The Piale Pasha promenade, a low coastal area, has struggled with severe corrosion of its concrete seawall for several years. The wall, stretching from the medieval castle to the end of the pedestrian area, has developed extensive cracks. In some sections, corrosion has been so intense that pieces of concrete have fallen off due to moisture and strong waves. The last major repair was carried out in 2014, and issues began to surface within just six years, possibly due to construction flaws. In late 2023, the Larnaca municipality initiated the current renovation effort.

In addition, Larnaca recently completed the restoration of the facades along the Piale Pasha seafront. The architectural design was crafted by ARMON SPACE ARCHITECTURAL E.P.E., and the project was executed by the company ΚΕ.ΠΑ.ΜΑ. This involved refurbishing windows, doors, and balconies, as well as repainting the facades of all buildings on Piale Pasha Street. The chosen color palette included indigo, ochre, yellow, burgundy, and terracotta.

The renovation project, costing €1.1 million, was funded by the European Union, the Cyprus Government, and the Larnaca Municipality. Given that Piale Pasha is the first sight for tourists arriving in Larnaca, enhancing the coastal area’s visual appeal was deemed crucial by the municipality.
