Cultural Heritage

stavros_thumbA good example for the documentation of world cultural heritage is the project I carried out in Cyprus in cooperation with partners of the HTI, in the small village of Pelendri. This is the first in what I hope will be a series of projects and it is an ongoing work. Pelendri is the home of the important 12th century Timios Stavros Church (Church of the Holy Cross), with icons characteristic of the time clearly showing the influence of the east. This unusual looking Byzantine church was faithfully restored by the Department of Antiquities, and occupies a deserving place as one of nine outstanding mountain churches included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
