In-Depth Information
The village has some superb mosaics in the now-ruined
Basilica of Agia Triada
(Sipahi;
adult/student 5/3YTL;
h
9am-5pm)
, dating from the 5th century.
While little is left of the main structure, the basilica has extensive flooring, intricately
patterned with geometric and abstract mosaics. Greek inscriptions at both the northern and
southern ends of the former nave reveal that the church's construction was partly financed
by Deacon Iraklios on a personal vow of dedication.
The site is at the eastern end of the village and is best approached from the Dipkarpaz
end of Sipahi.
