Panagia Asprovouniotissa Church
Frenaros Famagusta CY
This single-aisled and barrel-vaulted church are situated approximately five kilometers southwest of Frenaros village. The church's barrel vault is supported by two arches that are resting on braces. The covered area of the church is 17.5 times 6.3 meters with the corners of the walls being built with curved rectangular stones and the rest of the walls being built with stones selected from the surrounding area. The barrel-vault above the narthex is taller which means that the narthex was built later. In the church, there are still remains of wall paintings. On the west wall, there is a Crucifixion similar to that of Saint Andronikos Church. On the south wall, we can recognize the Dormition of the Virgin Mary and on the narthex's east wall we can see Saint Paraskevi. According to its morphological elements and its frescoes, the church is dated either back to the late 15th or early 16th century.
