Angeloktisti Church
Located in Kiti Village, the 11th century Byzantine church of Angeloktisti - which means ‘built by angels’ in Greek - was erected over the ruins of an Early Christian basilica (6th century).
The original apse of the basilica has survived along with one of the finest pieces of Byzantine art on the island; a rare 6th century mosaic of the Virgin Mary and Child between the two archangels Michael and Gabriel, which rivals the mosaics of Ravenna-Italy. Such mosaics from this period have only been discovered in Cyprus and Mount Sinai.
