Saint George (Ruins)

This is a historic medieval monument, also known as the Holy Monastery of Saint George Axylou (or Chalasmata), which lies in ruins about two kilometers east of the community of Koili in Paphos. The church follows the architectural type of the free cross and preserves in its interior two separate layers of old Byzantine wall paintings. Owing to the extensive collapse of the roof and its building structure, the space now lacks functional capacity. Today it is an important archaeological and historic station for hikers, while the memory of the Saint is honored symbolically by the community.
