Sit back and enjoy my photos of Church sites in Cyprus

It was a prolonged struggle but I got there in the end

 

 

Multiple domes became a feature of churches after the Arab invasions

Modern adaptation of design with contemporary materials

Ayii Saranda is a cave illuminated by windows cut in the dome overhead

Ayia Thekla  by the sea above a shrine formed by three contiguous caves

Ayios Nikolaos is affectionately known as a Toy Byzantine Church

Only the roof is visible as you approach Panayia Thajianousa near Prastio

Panayia Khordayitissa  seen through the ruins of Ayios Theodoros 

Stone and mud-brick churches  with steep,  flat-tiled roofs in the Troodos area

An octagonal dome is a feature of the church in Akhna fields

Skylights, windows and colour make Panayia Odigitria in Skarinou impressive

Metamorphosis tou Sotiriou in Kissonerga has a row of pitched roofs
