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.

Loukrounou Mosque

The mosque was located in the northern entrance area of the village. Nothing is known about the history of this building. However, it could be a new building constructed after the earthquake of 1953. In the aerial photographs from 1963, one can clearly see that the building, which is shown as a mosque in the cadastral plan, no longer has a roof, but a small new building exists a little further to the east.
