The
larger of the two churches built in the 14th century belonged to the Knights
Templars.
When the last grand master and
their other leaders were burned as heretics in 1313, the order came to an end
and the church was left over to the Knights Hospitallers who owned the adjoining
building.
The buildings have been restored
and is now being used by the Cyprus Art Society (Kibris Sanat Dernegi).
