Cyprus Photos: Bellapais Abbey
Thursday 5 October 2006
This twelfth-century monastery is located near the north coast of Cyprus, to the
south-east of Kyrenia (Girne), set on the side of a mountain.
It was originally occupied by a French brotherhood, the Order of Premontre, and
was known to them as the "Abbaye de la Paix", from where the word Bellapais
derives.
Looking from Bellapais to the harbour at Kyrenia.
