Panayia Pergamininiotissa

Panagia Pergamiotissa is a late Byzantine church, dating from the 11th century in Tatlısu, an unspoilt coastal village 20 km from Esentepe.
Has a interesting cylindrical apse but the building is square shaped, with the roof in the form of a cross, topped with a drum on which sits a small dome. It may have been built over a much earlier one, as foundations were exposed outside the apse during renovation.
Wall paintings from the 11th and 12th centuries have mainly been removed, although some still remain.
Look carefully and you can see the overgrown ruined foundations of buildings that once surrounded the church, reached via some paths.
Works to prevent deterioration of the building means it is no longer possible to get inside, however it is still worth taking a look at, especially if you plan to tour the Minia Cyprus Museum within the same grounds, another must-see for visitors.
