The tiny Byzantine church of Timiou Stavros, Peléndhri
The tiny Byzantine church of Timiou Stavros, Peléndhri, Cyprus. The church is one of the ten "Painted Churches in the Troodos Region", a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for the unique and sophisticated Byzantine murals painted on the interior walls. The small church's rural architectural style is in stark contrast to the highly refined decoration inside.
Byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis St. Nicholas
The church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (St. Nicholas of the Roof) is located in the Solea Valley (5km from Kakopetria village) and is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The domed cross-in-square church once belonged to a monastery complex and derives its name from its pitched timber roof that was built to protect it from the weather. It is the only surviving monastery church of its kind on the island and is covered entirely in wall paintings from the 11th to the 17th centuries, with the most important surviving set on the island from this period. As such, it is considered one of the most interesting Byzantine churches in Cyprus.
The church itself is dated to the 11th century, whilst the monastery dated to the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century and flourished from the Middle Byzantine period up to the period of Frankish rule. It declined during the 18th century and ceased to function as a monastery by the end of the 19th century.
