Choulou Mosque
Choulou, CY
It is very likely that there was already a mosque in the village at the beginning of the 20th century. The first reports of repairs date back to 1927. In the 1930s, the mosque was closed for a while because there was no imam in the village. Further repairs took place in 1938. The severe Paphos earthquake of 1953 also damaged the mosque of Choulou so badly that it had to be demolished. the structure found today was built in the years between 1954 and 1956; very probably according to a design by the Greek Cypriot architect Th. Photiadis, who had designed several mosques in a similar style in the area.
