Rare 9th-century five-domed Byzantine basilica preserving multi-layered frescoes from the 8th to 15th centuries.
Standing on the central square of Geroskipou ('Sacred Gardens of Aphrodite'), the Church of Agia Paraskevi is a masterpiece of Middle Byzantine architecture crowned by five stone domes.
Its interior walls reveal a remarkable palimpsest of frescoes spanning from non-figurative 8th-century iconoclastic motifs to rich 12th- and 15th-century murals.
Located directly on the main square of Geroskipou, 3.5 km east of Paphos.
