Orthodox church remarkable for its pediment decorated with sculptures of the Byzantine double-headed eagle, Venetian lions...

This Greek Orthodox church (Ιερός Ναός Τιμίου Σταυρού/Ieros Naos Timiou Stavrou) is the largest in Lefkara. Its long nave and two asymmetrical bell towers blend Gothic and Byzantine styles. It was built in the 14th century and remodeled until the 19th century. It houses a large iconostasis (1760) and a crypt housing a silver cross containing a supposed relic of the Holy Cross. Beautiful panoramic view of Kato Lefkara and the valley from the forecourt.

Cette église située dans le centre village que vous atteindrez en parcourant les ruelles typiques avec de belles maisons vous ravira, en effet elle offre aussi sur son côté une place avec panorama sur la campagne environnante. A l'intérieur vous aurez une idée des églises orthodoxes et de leur organisation, richement meublée et ornée vous allez être comblé.
