Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery
-
The monks of this impressive monastery, devoted to “Our Lady of the Golden Pomegranate” (the symbol of Cyprus), guard a treasury of icons and costly religious ornaments which have been hoarded here since its foundation in the 12th century (see Chryssorogiatissa Monastery). These include an icon of the Virgin Mary, discovered by St Ignatius, and kept on the iconostasis. The monks also make some of Cyprus’s finest vintages on the premises, which can be tasted and bought at their winery, Monte Royia (see Monte Royia).
