Historical background information  

The village is situated on the north coast of Cyprus, at the beginning of the Karpas Peninsula in the Famagusta District. According to a plaque above the south entrance, the Church of Agios Georgios was renovated between 1891 and 1898. Written sources, such as "To Flamoudi" by Shiakalis Giakoumi, state that the official opening of the church took place on 29 August 1914.

The Agios Georgios Church is primarily constructed with stone walls and features a tile-covered roof. A later addition, the women's gallery, is made of concrete. Generally, the structural condition of the church is good. However, structural issues have been observed on the walls and roof. The most significant damage occurred during the demolition of the upper part of the bell tower in 2003.

The Agios Georgios Church was selected as part of the priority conservation projects of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage. Within the framework of the EU funded and UNDP implemented Support to cultural heritage monuments of great importance for Cyprus project, a study “Survey, Investigations, Assessment and Project Design” was carried out in 2022 and the conservation works were implemented during 2023–2024.
