Patriki, CY
The church with the ekklesionym Archangelos Michail was built in 1868 and is located in the centre of the original settlement core. The church was converted into a mosque after 1974 and used until a new mosque was completed in the village (ca. 2009/2010). After that, the building was abandoned and left to its own devices.

In the right arm of the transept is the tomb of Countess Adelasia of Sicily (1072-1118), the mother of Roger II of Sicily, who lies in a Renaissance sarcophagus.
