Religious

According to local tradition, the village’s most significant medieval monument is the tiny church dedicated to “Agia Aikaterine” that still stands (St. Catherine). This church is generally known as “Vasiliko pareklisi” (Royal chapel). Early in the 15th century, construction of the Royal CHAPEL of St. Catherine commenced. The structure is Gothic and dates to the 14th century (when the decline of Gothic art started). It has a rectangular shape with three entrances and an arched roof supported by three reinforcement levels. It is primarily composed of ruddy and emerald volcanic rocks from the surrounding area. There are numerous frescoes on the interior walls and dome. The St. Catherine’s Church in Cyprus is one of the most fascinating Lusignan relics. In recent years, the “Agia Marina” church was built next to the St. Catherine’s church.

The Church of St Marina

The Old Church of St. Marina is located in the southern portion of the neighborhood. It was built in the 12th century and features a dome and a narthex that was added later (porch). Its dome contains a number of half-decayed frescoes. This medieval church is the inspiration for the name of the modern church. The costs of restoring the church of Agia Marina are being covered by the Antiquities Department, the Local Land Authority of Pyrga, and contributions from the “Leventio Paraskevaidio” centre and other believers. In the rear of the church is the village’s first spring, which historically supplied water to the entire community. In 1951, water-supply measures were enacted, and a second spring was constructed to facilitate the village’s water supply.
