The Church of Panagia Faneromeni

The Church of Panagia Faneromeni is one of the most significant historic landmarks in Nicosia. According to historical accounts, the Faneromeni Church was erected back as early as 1222 but was destroyed by the 1861 earthquake. The cornerstone for the new church was placed on 13 December 1898, and its construction started in 1899. The reason for dedicating the church to Panagia Faneromeni, according to the folk tradition, is because the icon of the Virgin Mary was revealed over the ruins of the temple that had been destroyed.
