About two kilometres west of the ruins, the Monastery of Saint Barnabas is reached by a short drive and shouldn't be missed. The 18th-century church and its surrounding cloister now serve as a modest archaeological museum, displaying pottery, glass, jewellery and statuary from Salamis and Enkomi arranged chronologically from the Neolithic to the Byzantine period.
A separate icon museum occupies the church itself, with 18th- and 19th-century icons rescued from churches across northern Cyprus. The original tomb of Barnabas, marked by a small mausoleum down the steps from the courtyard, is the goal of pilgrims. There is a small café in the cloister and orange trees in the garden — a pleasant counterpoint to the open ruins.
