Church of the Holy Cross, Nicosia

The Church of the Holy Cross contains multiple chapels adorned with religious art, statues, and a rose window displaying the Jerusalem cross in stained glass.

The original structure, built in 1642, served the community until the late 1800s when the Spanish Royal Family funded a new church, inaugurated in 1902.

The parish brings together people from fifty different nations, offering religious services in eight languages to accommodate its diverse congregation.

The church underwent complete interior restoration in 1998, with new marble installations and an Italian-designed stained glass window above the altar.

Located within the buffer zone between Nicosia and North Nicosia, the church's garden access remains partially restricted due to the 1974 territorial division.
