Added on: by

In the village of Agios Constantinos located in the Limassol district, there is an old church dedicated to Saints Constantinos and Eleni. It is a single aisled basilica bearing a wooden, pointed and tiled roof. The tiles are flat type.

There are no reports for the year creation. An inscription is built into the "body" of the Church, saying that its year of inauguration is 1946. However, the year of the inauguration can in no case be considered as the year of construction. There are numerous Churches inaugurated dozens or in some cases even hundreds of years after their construction.

The architecture of our church refers, without any difficulty, in the late 17th or early 18th century. The western part, has been extended up to 3 meters and this must have been in the early 20th century. Shortly before that the iron belfry must have been built.

The same church type, is very often found in areas of the former Great Commandaria and are a a pole of attraction for the scholars of the religious life of Cypriots and their architecture.

It is located only a few meters east of the monument of the Hero of EOKA, Yiannaki Christoforou.
