The church—built on the site of a natural spring at the head of a valley—was constructed in the twelfth century and belonged originally to a [[Greek Orthodox]] monastery. It consists of a single building with a spacious dome carried on eight pillars and is the only surviving example of this type in Cyprus. A ruined and partly restored example is in [[Saint Hilarion Castle]] and there was once a similar church at the centre of the Monastery of St. John Chrysostomos at [[Koutsovendis]] before the church there was rebuilt at the end of the nineteenth century.<ref>Stylianou, A., and J. Stylianou, ''The Painted Churches of Cyprus'' (Cyprus: Research Centre, Greek Communal Chamber, 1964): 154.</ref> The [[narthex]] on the western side and the arcade on the south were added a later time, probably in the fifteenth century when the building was under the Latin church. The irregular shape of the dome is perhaps due to damaged sustained during the [[1222 Cyprus earthquake]].
