Bellapais Abbey

Its present name derives from the French "Abbaye de la paix", which means "The Peace Monastery".

Bellapais has been captured by the Turkish army after Turkey attacked CYPRUS July 20, 1974. All Greek Cypriots inhabitants were forced out by Turkish military forces and are now refugees in their own country.
