Here is the photo of a nice Church in the occupied areas. According to the above database, this is one of the better preserved ones. Obviously, it has been looked after "extremely well".

Othellos,the little Byzantine chapel of Agios Georgios is the only one of its kind in Cyprus. Half of it ,was built underground.
The little church was full of Byzanitne frescoes ,which don't exist any more.Ancient icons were stolen during the invasion. The only evidence of frescoes in on the dome.Humitity ,time and the Turks savaged everything. Very sad to see.  The Occupation of Cyprus is illegal.

The Church of Cyprus is protesting strongly the continuing plundering of religious sites, in the Turkish-occupied northern part of the country, condemning the ongoing desecration of Christian churches, some of which have been converted to mosques, military camps, hen houses, mortuaries or silos. As experts record the overall looting campaign in the past three decades, since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, with about 550 churches desecrated, between 15-20,000 icons missing, believed to be stolen or sold on the black market, a well orchestrated and concerted effort is underway to protest at all international fora this situation.
We have embarked on a crusade to inform world public opinion through every available means - lectures, literary material, personal contacts, diplomatic channels - presenting indisputable evidence which has been corroborated through careful and professional research carried out on the matter, Charalambos Hotzakoglu, archaeologist by profession and an expert in Byzantine art working for the museum of the Kykko Monastery, has told CNA in an interview. He said the goal is to save these religious sites, a task vehemently opposed by the Turkish side which claims that all sites now belong to the Moslem religious foundation EVKAF. Researchers of the Kykko Monastery, who have visited and photographed some 550 churches in occupied Cyprus, say that 50 of them are now military camps - the church of Virgin Mary Axeropiitou in Lambousa village, Agios Panteleimonas in Mirtou village, the church and monastery of Agia Anastasia in Lapithos village is now a luxury hotel complex, the monastery of Agios Panteleimonas is used as a fuel depot and the church of Sotiros in Chrysiliou village in Morphou district now serves as a mortuary.

well Othello and Cypriana, at least they do not keep sheep and goats in those churches , or do they ?I hate to tell you, Penelope, but they do, in some churches. I personally saw a church during my fairly recent travels in the Karpass in which some sheep were sheltering from the sun, and chickens were using the place for socialising in, as if in Elefteria Square. The floor was naturally filthy and the benches had been either smashed up or stolen for use elsewhere. Photocopies of Icons were lying around torn, some as if people had delberately wiped their boots on them. It was a sickening sight to me. Those who show no respect for things and places which are of spititual value to others are nothing but barbarians, deserving neither sympathy not respect.

The first entry in the list of vandalised Churches in the Famagusta District is shown as the Church of Ayios Ilias. This cannot be. My house is 2 minutes walk
from the Church of Ayios Ilias (I can see it clearly from my veranda) which overlooks Protaras, some 15 kilometres inside the Republic and not occupied by
Turks. Is this a mistake or were there more than one Church of Ayios Ilias, of which one is in the occupied area? If so, where exactly is it?

The stupid builders never finished the swimng pool as they have taken their normal long holidays..
I sucked them and found some tilers from Greece.They done an excellent job and tomorrow I hope to fill it up and have a swim. Why? Cause,I am wondering if that person from Greece came to our house for restoration after that. I am finding that "thread" maybe.

I visited the
village Leonarisso now known as (Ziyamet) and visited
Agios Demetrios and it was indeed sad to see the devastation. My friend
parents were born there and used to go to that church, everything has been stripped!! it was also very sad to see their homes there. Was an emotional
experience for us all. I also visit St.
Andrew's monastery and it seems like its being re-constructed. My friend dad help to build Agios Antonios church which is also abandon. I hope
one day the Cypriots would get back their land.
