Agios Antonios Church Otodoxa

1 review of Agios Antonios Church Otodoxa

Enclosed between vulgarity and charm

Encerrada entre la vulgaridad y el encanto

La preciosa y “bien cuidada” iglesia de San Antonio data del s. XVII y se construyó a finales del último periodo de control otomano de la época. Está en el centro de la ciudad amurallada y bastante cerca de la famosa Plaza del Arzobispado. Sus paredes de piedra dorada parecen nuevas, su torre está llena de filigranas de los mamposteros de le época. La única pega es que hoy día se encuentra encajonada entre edificios feos y ridículos, que apenas le han respetado el espacio de su jardín. Pegada a la iglesia, justo a 3 metros han tenido la “gran idea” de construir un edificio vulgar, normal y corriente y le ha restado parte de su encanto.
The beautiful and "well maintained" San Antonio church dates from s. XVII and was built at the end of the last period of Ottoman control of the time. It is in the walled city center and quite close to the famous Plaza del Archbishopric. Their golden stone walls seem new, the tower is full of masons watermarks you time. The only downside is that today is sandwiched between high rises and ridiculous, that barely have respected your garden space. Attached to the church, just three meters have had the "great idea" to build a building vulgar, ordinary and has taken away some of its charm. Address: C / Agios Antonios (Nicosia)
