I know I’ve been quiet this summer; have been busy with several other projects and other stuff…
This is a derelict church I visited in Turkish North Cyprus this year, and a few other buildings in the area.
First up, the church, which I climbed up a steep hill in gruelling 38 degrees heat to see. No history on this one; Set in a quiet sun scorched location overlooking the Mediteranean sea, I would surmise this was abandoned between the 1950s to 70s, as Islam became the dominant religion on this part of the island following conflict.
An interesting place, worth the exhausting climb.
The monastery was finally abandoned in the 1950s; probably for similar reasons.

This was some sort of water plant.
Abandoned, date unknown
THE MONASTRY
An ugly new unfinished building
And an unfinished villa
