Maronite Archbishopric Of Cyprus, Nicosia

The Maronite Church, consecrated in 1960 new year. Nicosia is different from other churches and straight lines. It is located in the old town of Nicosia, close to the border with the Turkish area and Holy Cross Catholic Church. This church was to visit Pope Benedict 16. Parishioners are mostly Lebanese, etc. to the Maronite Center of Christianity-Lebanon, Beirut. And in Cyprus maronitancev about 6 thousand. man. Followers of this religion "collaborated" with the Crusaders, so during the invasion of the Turks were mercilessly destroyed. Around the Church are Lebanese cafes. I thought this place interesting.

Maronitskij Cathedral appeared on Cyprus land just over 50 years ago and was consecrated in the year 1960. Strict outlines demonstrate reliability and at the same time, the harsh beauty of the temple. In 2010 year here the Pope met with members of the public.
