Panagia Chapel - Virgin Mary

The medieval chapel of the Virgin Mary (Ayia Panayia) sits right in the middle of the Liopetri village, a reminder of how the village of Liopetri has developed over the years. Normally a church would be built on the outskirts of a village! This chapel is built of stone, with columns and arches creating the traditional open-air corridor at the front of the entrance to the chapel, familiar with so many Cyprus churches. It is still used for church services and once a year the service for the commemoration of the Virgin Mary takes place here. The whole square is sealed off and in the evening the whole village descends to listen to traditional music, watch dancers perform dancing from yesteryear, and get together like they have been doing for decades.
