Panagia Kanakaria, Byzantine church and monastery in Lythragkomi, Northern Cyprus.
The three-aisled basilica features a central apse, narthex, and bell tower, with ceramic plates embedded in the vault ceiling.
Built in the fifth century with a wooden roof, the church underwent reconstruction in the eleventh century to become a basilica structure.
The main apse contained valuable mosaics of the Virgin Mary with Christ, which were later relocated to the Byzantine Museum in Nicosia.
The church stands beside the road toward Famagusta, at coordinates 35.478333 North latitude and 34.165278 East longitude.
The narthex displays inlaid ceramic plates in its vault, while the exterior presents notable column bases and relief sculptures.
