Church of St George in the Forest is part of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Nicosia.
This Church is located in the depths of the Troodos Mountain range, hiding in the shadow of a dense forest exactly opposite... a British military base (Royal Airforce - Radar Installation).
The place for construction had been chosen for a long time. The church had to be easily accessible to both residents of the mountain villages and British employees. In the end, the building site was bought for a symbolic amount from the Forest Department of the island.
The ground-breaking ceremony took place in October 1928, and construction work lasted until June 1931. Since that time, the church has been decorated with a wooden altar made of Cypriot cedar and an icon of St. George dating from the 18th century.
