Imposing 14th-century church in Pano Lefkara housing a venerated silver-gilt cross containing a relic of the True Cross.
The Church of Panagia Eleousa stands proudly above the stone rooftops of Pano Lefkara. Originating in the 14th century, its vaulted limestone architecture reflects centuries of Cypriot ecclesiastical craft.
The church's greatest treasure is an exquisite silver-gilt processional cross dated to 1371, intricately embossed with scenes from the Passion and concealing a fragment of the True Cross.
Located in the heart of Pano Lefkara; park at the municipal car park and walk 4 minutes through the alleys.
