St. Barnabas Monastery, Religious monastery and archaeological museum in Enkomi, Cyprus
The monastery complex includes a church building with two remaining domes, monks' cells converted into exhibition spaces, and a dedicated archaeological collection.
Founded in the fourth century AD, the monastery marks the burial site of Saint Barnabas, discovered by Archbishop Anthemius following a prophetic dream.
The icon museum within the monastery contains religious artworks and artifacts from the Bronze Age through the Early Iron Age periods of Cyprus.
The site includes parking facilities, a gift shop selling local products, and guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The tomb of Saint Barnabas contained a manuscript of Saint Matthew's Gospel placed upon his chest, leading to Cyprus church independence.
