Kolossi Castle, near Limassol. See main Cyprus page for historic details
The beautiful and elaborate coat of arms above the north door of Kolossi Castle. The meaning of this achievement is reported to represent the year 1454, when Jacques de Milli was elected Grand Master of the Order of St John in succession to Jean de Lastic, Louis de Magnac being Grand Commander of Cyprus. The two Grand Masters are represented by their shields, one on either side of the Cyprus royal arms, whilst the shield of Louis de Magnac occupies the lower divison of the panel.

This is the village of Mandria, near Paphos. The Church of St. Andronicos is modern. Above the west door is a most curious marble capital between the two voltues: a female head wrapped in a wimple; it may possibly have once formed part of some Latin convent. Close to the sea is the Chapel of St. Evresis, built on ancient foundations of old material; a number of marble columns are embedded in its walls. The altar is formed of an 'Oil Stone' of coarse pinkish marble.
