An Important mediaeval monument of the village is the extant small church that -according to the local tradition -is dedicated to "Agia Aikaterine" (St. Catherine). This church is better known as "Vasiliko pareklisi" (Royal chapel).
The Royal CHAPEL of St. Catherine was built in the beginning of the 15 th century. It is of the Gothic style from the 14 th century (when the decline of Gothic art started).
It has a rectangular shape with three entrances and an arched roof that stands upon three reinforcement layers. It is made with volcanic rocks, mainly reddish and green ones that were gathered from the surrounding area. Many frescoes are extant in the interior, upon the dome and the walls. The church of St. Catherine is one of today's most interesting relics of the Lusignan kingdom in Cyprus.
Next to St. Catherine's church stands the new church of "Agia Marina" that was built in recent years.
