🎧 Listen to Introduction
The area features one of the largest complexes of churches and monasteries in the pre-Byzantine Empire. The complex consists of 10 World Heritage-listed monuments, all richly decorated with frescoes that showcase Byzantine and post-Byzantine painting in Cyprus. The complex includes small churches, whose rustic architecture contrasts with their elaborate decoration, and monasteries such as the Monastery of St. John Lampadistis.
