The completion of conservation works to the Maronite Old St. George Church in the village of Koruçam (Kormakitis in Greek), will be celebrated on Saturday.
This is what a UNDP-PFF announcement said on Monday, adding that Maronite Archbishop of Cyprus Youssef Souei, members of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, the European Commission and the United Nations Development Programme Partnership for the Future (UNDP-PFF) will be there.
The Church was built in the XVI century and it is in the monastery within the nun’s court.
It was the main church of the Maronite community until the early 20th century when it ceded with the building of the new Saint George cathedral.
Designs were carried out in 2014 by the Maronite Church Committee through a tri-communal team of architects, engineers and quantity surveyor.
The project was fully funded by the European Union. Total cost – including works and supervision – was approximately 195,000 Euro.
