  Die griechisch-orthodoxe Kirche des Erzengels Michael Tripiotis, ist sicher eine der schönsten Kirchen der Insel. Sie wurde 1695 erbaut. Die Kirche hat eine sehr reiche Innenausstattung, mit mehreren in Silber überzogen Ikonen. Die Geschichte der Kirche ist außerhalb dieser in vielen Sprachen erklärt

  The church of Trypiotis is dedicated to Archangel Michael and it celebrates, each year, on the 6th of September, the date attributed to the miracle at Honae. The church is a Franco/Byzantine domed basilica with three aisles and is set on an almost perfect square plan. The three aisles are separated by two rows of arches, each resting on a row of four unequally spaced columns. It is built of well-dressed sandstone, the same honey coloured stone as used for the city walls and all public buildings in old Nicosia. The spacious narthex (entrance hall) on the south side leads to the arched, main entrance. Above the entrance there is a semicircular panel depicting the Assumption of the Virgin. The Archangel is shown giving battle with the Devil under her litter.
