Restoration Work to Begin on Two Churches in Occupied Areas

Restoration work will soon begin on the church of Agios Prokopios in Sygkrasi and the church of Panagia of Akentous in Lefka, as stated to ΚΥΠΕ by Sotos Ktoris, co-chair of the Bi-communal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage.

Mr. Ktoris mentioned that these are two very important monuments. The church of Agios Prokopios, near Trikomo, is built on the ruins of an early Christian basilica of the 6th century, while the main church dates back to the 11th or 12th century. The church of Panagia of Akentous in Lefka is included in the list of ancient monuments.

The works are expected to begin in the coming weeks.
