I know I’ve been quiet this summer; have been busy with several other projects and other stuff…
Anyway, here is a derelict church I visited in Turkish North Cyprus this year, and a few other buildings in the area.
First up, the church, which I climbed up a steep hill in gruelling 38 degrees heat to see. No history on this one; Set in a quiet sun scorched location overlooking the Mediteranean sea, I would surmise this was abandoned between the 1950s to 70s, as Islam became the dominant religion on this part of the island following conflict. A caretaker has obviously tried to keep this tidy. An interesting place. Well worth the exhausting climb!
The monastery was finally abandoned in the 1950s; probably for similar reasons.
This is another site. I can only assume some sort of water plant
THE MONASTRY
An ugly unfinished 'Nerp'
And finally, an unfinished villa
thanks for looking
