Archangel Michael Trypiotis Church, Greek Orthodox church in old town Nicosia, Cyprus
The Archangel Michael Trypiotis Church features a Franco-Byzantine domed basilica design with three aisles, constructed from sandstone matching the city walls.
The foundation stone of the current church structure was laid by Archbishop Germanos II on May 3, 1695, replacing an earlier Gothic church at this location.
The church houses a significant collection of Byzantine icons, including a notable 1634 depiction of Archangel Michael created by the painter Paul.
The church maintains regular services and remains an important venue for community events such as weddings and baptisms in the heart of Nicosia.
The name Trypiotis originates from a monastery in South East Anatolia where, according to local accounts, Archangel Michael prevented its destruction.
