Kathedrale Agios Ioannis (St. Johannes) – Die Kathedrale des Heiligen Johannes wirkt von außen unscheinbar, aber ihr Innenraum ist wirklich beeindruckend. Fresken, Ikonen und goldene Details schaffen eine reiche spirituelle Atmosphäre. Sie ist der Sitz des Erzbischofs und ein Ort bedeutender kirchlicher Ereignisse. Ich empfehle einen Besuch während der Öffnungszeiten – es ist ein ruhiger und schöner Ort. Der Eintritt war kostenlos. Beautiful but no photos...why? Interesująca świątynia Predivna crkva. Nice (officially it is a cathedral) with a lot of history. Sadly no photos or videos allowed inside. This gothic Cathedral with its vibrant frescoes is certainly one of Lefkosia’s must-sees. Archibishop's Palace looks beautiful under night lights. I wasn’t inside , but outside it looks nice . Especially with these small flags 😁 I have been here several times, and it has always been the same: Cypriot Orthodox "friendliness" at its worst. The guards seem to enjoy their "power" and demand respect while showing no sign of respect for visitors. So beware - don't even look at your phones or you'll be time off for taking pictures, and if you are a group, beware that you'll be charged a entrance fee even if there is no sign to that effect. And do not expect any smiles. Today was my last time in this "church". Amazing place. Really small and compact and the frescos from the 16/17th century are out of this world. Shane no photos allowed This holds such beauty inside. The paintings on the ceiling and the icon wall make the trip worthwhile. As with most Orthodox churches, photography is not allowed inside for most visitors, so the exterior photos will have to do. They really don’t even begin to suggest what you’ll see inside, though. You can’t really trust the opening hours. We visit the on Saturday and it says 9-12. We were there at 11 and doors were closed. Then suddenly someone pulled up with car and opened the doors. We did not feel very welcommed by the guy. Church itself is very very beautiful inside. An absolute gem in the heart of Nicosia! St. John’s is truly breathtaking — small from the outside but incredibly beautiful once you step in. The frescoes and icons are stunning, full of detail and history, and the atmosphere inside is peaceful and inspiring. The staff were welcoming and happy to share insights about the church’s past, which made the visit even more special. A must-see if you are in Nicosia! A few days ago I visited this quaint little of St. John in Nicosia. A little unassuming from the outside, but beautifully decorated from the inside. But be aware of the custodian, a chainsmoking man dressed in all black. He stormed in after we had been inside for a few minutes and started shouting at us for taking pictures. Which we had not. He would hear none of it. His anger focused on my 11-year-old son. The custodian shouted at him that taking pictures was forbidden, which we knew, we had read the signs. But he had seen him do it and demanded his phone. My son answered politely, in his best English (not his mother tongue), "I did not take any pictures, sir". The man became even more angry. All the visitors needed to show their phones and also the voluntary contribution to the was now demanded of everyone by him at high tone. I calmly showed him my son's phone, opened the camera and showed him the last picture taken. It was an outdoor picture, nothing to do with his church. But no apology came however on his own false accusation. We needed to pay! After this statement, he started a loud conversation on his phone while walking back and forth through the little church, ignoring us. All in all a very strange experience. Very impolite and even in a as well of all places. So please do visit the church, it is beautiful, but beware of the Man in Black!
