Painted Churches in the Troödos Region, Byzantine churches in Troödos Mountains, Cyprus.
Ten mountain churches across Nicosia and Limassol districts contain detailed religious frescoes depicting biblical stories and saints in Byzantine artistic style.
The churches were constructed between the 11th and 16th centuries after Cyprus became part of the Byzantine Empire in 965 AD.
The interior walls display generations of artistic development through different painting techniques while maintaining traditional Orthodox Christian imagery.
Visitors need private transportation to reach most churches, and should contact local caretakers in advance to arrange access to these religious buildings.
The buildings feature steep wooden roofs covered with tiles to protect the structures from heavy mountain snowfall while preserving delicate wall paintings inside.
