Antiphonitis, Byzantine church in Kyrenia District, Cyprus.
The church structure features a large central dome supported by eight pillars, with a narthex and arcade added during the fifteenth century.
The monastery complex originated in the seventh century, while the current church building dates from 1101 with substantial modifications following a 1220 earthquake.
The interior walls display frescoes from different periods, including a Tree of Jesse and Last Judgement from the 1400s with combined Byzantine and Italian influences.
The church opens daily from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM and requires navigation through mountain roads to reach its location near Kalograia village.
Thirty frescoes removed by art traffickers between 1976 and 1979 were recovered in 1997 and now reside in the Byzantine Museum of Nicosia.
