Agia Paraskevi, Byzantine temple in Geroskipou, Cyprus
The Agia Paraskevi temple features five domes arranged with three larger ones above the central aisle and two smaller ones over the lateral sections.
Built in 844 CE, this religious structure stands in a location that ancient records suggest was previously dedicated to the gardens of the goddess Aphrodite.
The interior walls display multiple layers of paintings from different periods, with the earliest examples dating back to the eighth and ninth centuries.
Located at Plateia Agias Paraskeuis 1, the temple welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday with no entrance fee required for exploration.
The temple contains a two-faced icon from the fifteenth century depicting the Virgin Mary on one side and the Crucifixion on the other.
