If anyone ever wondered who used to be the colonial power in Cyprus this might give a clue!
Actually most have had the royal cypher removed - but not this George VI one in Nicosia.
Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots celebrated together the completion of EU funded conservation and consolidation works at Archangelos Michael Church.
More than 200 people attended the event.
Archangelos Michael Church was included as a conservation project among the very first priorities of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in 2009 together with Arnavut Mosque in Limassol in recognition of the importance of both monuments.
Conservation works to Archangelos Michael Church are fully funded by the European Union within the overall 11.6 million Euro Cultural Heritage Programme that the European Commission is implementing through UNDP in Cyprus.
