| Description | Rectangular plan; apse is half of a hexagon. On the N and S sides there are four columns that support pointed arches. There are four corner columns that support arches, two on either side of the apse. The windows of the church have carved frames that form pointed arches. The N and S doors have a large outer, middle and inner frame (Gothic), forming pointed arches. While the walls appear to be stone, the columns seem to be made of a chalky stone. The main door has a single frame with a pointed arch. On the W wall there are three curved arches. Above these is the triangular W side of the roof surmounted by a stone cross. Small concrete-paved platform around church. Compound has cracked concrete floor. On roof, individual tiled triangular roofs, 5 on each length and 3 above each wall of the apse. The date 1906 is in wrought iron in the fanlight above the southern door. The belltower has an inscription which indicates that its construction dates from 1930. The text reads: 'Expenses of the respectable donors of the village of Efrosinis and Sofokleous during the time of the Bishop of Kyreneia Mr. Makarios. Constructed in 1930 by Phil. Loizoy, architect of Galata.' Local belief is that there has been a church on this site since the 12th century. |
