Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis Church
Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis is a 12th-century church located near Kakopetria. It is the only surviving Middle Byzantine monastery church of its kind in Cyprus.

The church flourished during the Middle Byzantine period and the early years of Frankish rule and later continued to function as a parish or pilgrimage church.

Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis is one of the painted churches of the Troodos region included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Its architecture is a cross-in-square structure with a dome. The church takes its name, meaning “Saint Nicholas of the Roof,” from the second wooden roof that covers the original structure. Its interior walls are decorated with an impressive collection of frescoes.
