Ypati

This historic monastery country chapel is nestled on the northern slopes of the Pentadaktylos mountain range, on the boundary of the occupied village of Agios Amvrosios in the Kyrenia district. It is a Byzantine edifice of the 12th century, which received later architectural additions during the Frankish period. Since 1974, after the violent expulsion of the inhabitants of the area owing to the Turkish invasion, the church remains desecrated, without the possibility of holding services and inaccessible for its faithful.
