Church of saint Spyridon

Feast day: December 12

This is the new main church of Mari, since the previous one was totally destroyed by the explosion of 11 July 2011 at the naval base “Evangelos Florakis”. It is a single-aisled basilica with a prominent semicircular apse and a steep-pitched roof. Its exterior is covered with white stone and its external buttresses are connected to each other by semicircular arches. It has three entrances (north, west and south side), of which the western one is protected by a single-pitched canopy. It is illuminated by the arched windows located on the north and south sides, as well as the three-arch opening above the main entrance (west). The church was completed and inaugurated in 2016 by Barnabas, the Metropolitan of Trimythous. The feast day of the church is on the 12th of December.
