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.

thanks for looking
 
Superb pictures. Looks like someone is looking after the little church as there are brooms leaning against the wall and the church is very tidy. No doubt the villa has had its good days.
 
Looked a lovely cool place after that walk! Amazing how some folk respect derelict churches and religious places,if that was left abandoned over here I'm sure it would have been vandalised brick by brick as they failed to set it on fire.

Thanks enjoyed lookin at your pics:encouragement:
