Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (Saint Nicholas of the Roof) Church, Kakopetria, Cyprus

Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (Saint Nicholas of the Roof), is an 11th-century Byzantine monastery that flourished in Kakopetria, Cyprus. The church is the only surviving Middle Byzantine katholikon (monastery church) in Cyprus during the 11th century. St. Nicholas of the Roof prospered from the Middle Byzantine era until the beginning of Frankish rule, around the 12th century. Since Frankish rule the church remained open, but served as a small village church and a pilgrimage site.
