Ayia Photou Underground Church

The remains of the church can be visited

Ayia Photou underground church is in the north east part of the walled city.

The site is all that remains of a Franciscan monastery. Although the whole site is known as Ayia Photou, the name is, in fact, that of the southern ruins. The northern ruins are all that is left of the church of St Domenic, built in the 14th century.
