dc.description.abstract |
Naturally grown and still present in the rural areas of Cyprus, olives
and the oil they produce have had a significant place for Cypriots.
Since olive oil has been used widely for culinary, religious, and
medical purposes throughout history, the methods of oil
extraction have developed from being very basic in ancient times
to the machinery production of today. Olive mills that house this
activity became integral parts of villages where olive groves were
dense. More recently the establishment of large factories rendered
traditional olive mills redundant and the lack of maintenance of
these has resulted in serious deterioration. This paper presents
olive oil mills as witnesses of a traditional way of life and a
significant feature of the rural landscapes of Cyprus, and aims to
develop conservation proposals. It focuses on the olive oil mills in
the villages of the Karpas region, which has largely maintained its
rural character and houses dense olive groves. The architectural
and structural characteristics of 18 olive oil mills with traditional
machinery that are located in 14 villages are documented and
analysed. The study identifies major building defects and presents
conservation strategies to address 12 olive oil mills. |
