Founded in 2009, the Sylvia Ioannou Foundation is based in Liechtenstein with the mission to preserve and disseminate the historical and cultural heritage of Cyprus. It incorporated its founder’s collection and to date contains more than 3,000 rare books and maps. The collection is constantly being enriched and is one of the most important in the world regarding Cyprus.
