ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM
The archaeological museum of the town is of great interest. Not only for the important antiquities it hosts but also for the building’s special architecture. It is a two-storey building with three arched entrances.
It is consisted of three rooms around a yard with pillars and an atrium. There is a mosaic showing the arrival of Asklipios in Kos.
The museum hosts statues of the hellenistic and roman time, sepulchral and dedicative anaglyphs, etc.
Among the most important exhibits in the museum are the mosaic floors from roman residences, the headless statue of Asklipios dated from the 2nd AC, as and the statue of a man with beard found in the arcades of the Conservatoire, which was named Ippokratis.
