Church of Agioi Anargyroi, Eastern Orthodox church building in Paphos, Cyprus.
The Church of Agioi Anargyroi is an Eastern Orthodox place of worship in Paphos featuring traditional Byzantine architecture with stone walls and domed roofs. The interior displays numerous religious icons and religious artwork throughout.
This place of worship was built in 1649 on a site of prehistoric settlement and underwent major renovations in the early 20th century following earthquake damage. These restoration works shaped its current appearance.
The name refers to Saints Cosmas and Damian, two brothers who worked as physicians and treated patients without asking for payment. This custom is reflected in the term Agioi Anargyroi, which literally means without payment.
The church entrance is located on Agapinoros Street and is freely accessible to visitors during regular operating hours for both religious services and tourism. It is helpful to check opening times in advance before planning your visit.
Natural springs with sulfur-rich waters near the site are believed by many visitors to have healing properties for rheumatism and skin conditions. These waters add an interesting dimension to the visit.
