Tera Mosque

The mosque is located in the centre of the original village. Not much is known about the history of the current mosque. According to Bağişkan, there was already evidence of a mosque on this site from the 1810s. It is not known when the current mosque was built. However, major renovations were carried out in the 1930s. The earthquake of 1953 also caused damage, but it does not seem to have been as severe as other mosques in the Paphos district.

Polis Mosque

The mosque is located in the western area of the original village centre. Originally, the building was built in Byzantine times as a church dedicated to Agios Andronikos. In Ottoman times, this was then converted into a mosque. At the beginning of the 20th century, the mosque was extended somewhat to make room for the numerous worshippers who came here from the surrounding area for Friday prayers. A minaret was built on the apse; this no longer exists today.
