Centrale électrique de Dhekelia

La centrale électrique de Dhekelia, en anglais Dhekelia Power Station, est une centrale thermique au fioul destinée à la production d'électricité et située en République de Chypre. Géographie La centrale électrique se trouve dans l'Est du pays, non loin de la ville de Larnaca. Sa particularité est de créer deux enclaves dans la base militaire britannique de Dhekelia. L'une est la centrale électrique en elle-même située en bord de mer sur un petit promontoire avec les installations portuaires et de stockage du fioul, l'autre est un petit hameau de quelques dizaines d'habitations ; les deux enclaves sont séparées par une route secondaire qui longe le littoral. La centrale, bien que située sur la côte, est également enclavée par la voie maritime, les eaux territoriales étant dans ce secteur sous contrôle britannique. Caractéristiques La centrale électrique est de type thermique, son combustible étant le fioul. Sa capacité est de 460 MW. Histoire La première centrale est construite dans les années 1950. Elle comprend alors sept turbines totalisant une capacité de 84 MW. Sous-dimensionnée et devenant vite obsolète, une nouvelle centrale, l'actuelle, est construite progressivement à côté de l'ancienne. Elle est équipée de six turbines à vapeur de 60 MW chacune et de six turbines diesel d'environ 17 MW chacune. Ces nouvelles installations commencent progressivement la production électrique en 1982. D'autres travaux sont réalisés en 1992 et 1993 avec l'installation de deux turbogénérateurs. L'ancienne centrale subsistant à côté de la nouvelle est totalement démolie au début des années 2000. La centrale est gérée par l'Electricity Authority of Cyprus.

Panagia Chryseleousa (Emba)

Die Panagia Chryseleousa ist ein Kirchengebäude der zyprisch-orthodoxen Kirche auf Zypern in Emba (Bezirk Paphos). Beschreibung Die Panagia Chryseleousa entstand im 12. Jahrhundert zunächst auf kreuzförmigem Grundriss mit Tonnengewölben sowie mit einer Kuppel über der Vierung. Zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wurden die Räume zwischen den Kreuzarmen ausgebaut und das Gotteshaus so zu einer Kreuzkuppelkirche erweitert. 1744 wurden die zweite Kuppel im Westen sowie ein Narthex angefügt. Zu dieser Zeit diente die Kirche auch als Klosterkirche. Herausragend unter den erhaltenen Fresken im Inneren ist die Darstellung des Christus als Pantokrator in der alten Vierungskuppel aus dem späten 15. Jahrhundert. Die Ikonostase stammt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Unmittelbar neben der Panagia Chryseleousa befindet sich heute die monumentale moderne Pfarrkirche Embas, dem heiligen Apostel Andreas geweiht.

Chiesa della Panaghia Chryseleousa (Empa)

La Panaghia Chryseleousa è una chiesa appartenente alla Chiesa ortodossa di Cipro sita nel villaggio di Empa, nel distretto di Pafo, a Cipro. Descrizione La Panaghia Chryseleousa fu costruita nel XII secolo, inizialmente con una pianta a croce con volte a botte e una cupola centrale. In una data successiva, gli spazi tra i bracci della croce furono estesi e la chiesa fu così ampliata diventando una chiesa con cupola a croce. Nel 1744, furono aggiunti la seconda cupola a ovest e un nartece. In questo periodo la chiesa serviva anche come chiesa di un monastero. Tra gli affreschi conservati all'interno spicca la raffigurazione di Cristo Pantocratore della fine del XV secolo nella vecchia cupola centrale. L'iconostasi risale al XVI secolo. Direttamente accanto alla Panaghia Chryseleousa oggi c'è la monumentale chiesa parrocchiale moderna di Empa, dedicata a Sant'Andrea Apostolo.

Casa de Dioniso (Pafos)

La Casa de Dioniso es el nombre que se le da a una vivienda privada de la época antigua Grecia situada en la ciudad de Pafos, en la isla de Chipre. Sus ruinas forman parte del yacimiento arqueológico de (Nea) Pafos, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco y situado en un promontorio al suroeste de la actual ciudad de Pafos.​​ La Casa de Dioniso data del siglo II d. C., época en la que Pafos era el centro administrativo de la isla. Se cree que perteneció a algún miembro de la élite romana que gobernaba la ciudad o a algún otro habitante acaudalado. Las ruinas de la casa se encuentran en la parte central del yacimiento arqueológico de Pafos. La superficie de esta casa de grandes dimensiones era de unos 2000 m2. De ellos, unos 500 metros cuadrados estaban revestidos con mosaicos en el suelo de gran calidad. En el centro de la casa había un atrio, en cuyo centro se encontraba un impluvio. La entrada principal se encontraba al suroeste, desde la calle que discurría por el lado sur de la casa.​​ Había mosaicos en la galería de columnas que rodeaba el atrio, así como en las habitaciones que lo rodeaban. En el lado este se encontraban los dormitorios y los baños, así como el vivario, y en el lado oeste, la cocina y los talleres. Los mosaicos son de gran calidad y multicolores, y representan principalmente temas mitológicos y escenas de caza. En muchos mosaicos aparecen Dioniso y temas relacionados con el vino, de ahí el nombre de la casa. En uno de ellos, Dioniso bebe vino en compañía de Acte e Icario. En otros mosaicos aparecen, entre otros, Píramo y Tisbe, Poseidón y Amimone, Apolo y Dafne, Hipólito y Fedra, Ganimedes y el águila, Narciso, los Dioscuros y las alegorías de las cuatro estaciones. Parte de los mosaicos presentan motivos geométricos.​​ Las paredes de la casa también fueron decoradas con motivos geométricos y florales.​ Referencias Enlaces externos
Святилище Афродиты Пафии

Святилище Афродиты Пафии располагалось в древнегреческом городе Пафос на Кипре и было посвящено богине любви Афродите. Находясь там, где согласно мифу произошло рождение Афродиты, оно приобрело славу главного святилища Афродиты и служило местом паломничества в древнем мире в течение многих веков. История Пафос считался священным местом у древних греков, которые верили в то, что это был тем местом, где Афродита вышла на берег после своего рождения из моря. Согласно Павсанию (I, 14), ее поклонение было привнесено в Пафос из Ассирии, а из Пафоса в Киферу, в Грецию. Культ, вероятно, имел финикийское происхождение. Археологи установили, что киприоты почитали богиню плодородия до прихода греков и развили культ, который объединил эгейский и восточный мир. До того, как это было доказано археологией, считалось, что культ Афродиты развился ещё до Гомера (около 700 г. до н. э.), поскольку роща и алтарь Афродиты в Пафосе упоминаются в "Одиссее" (VIII, 362). Женские статуэтки и амулеты, найденные в непосредственной близости от святилища, датируются началом III тысячелетия до нашей эры. Теменос (участок земли, выделенный из общего пользования и посвящённый богу, святилище, священная роща или священный участок) был хорошо известен до того, как на нём были возведены первые сооружения в позднем бронзовом веке. Святилище было закрыто во время гонений на язычников в поздней Римской Империи в IV веке, к тому времени функционировавшее в течение тысяч лет, начиная с позднего бронзового века Культовая деятельность Святилище Афродиты Пафии служило центром поклонения богине любви не только для Кипра, но и для всего Эгейского мира. Кинирады, или потомки Кинира, имевшие финикийское происхождение, но носившие греческие по имени, были первосвященниками. Их могущество и власть были очень велики, но согласно некоторым надписям можно сделать вывод, что они управлялись сенатом и народным собранием. В святилище был и оракул. Архитектура Святилище изображено на многих римских монетах периода Римской Империи времён правления императора Веспасиана, а также на более ранних и поздних, и особенно в стиле Септимия Севера. Святилище было разрушено землетрясением, а затем восстановлено при Веспасиане. Археология Остатки огромного святилища Афродиты все ещё различимы, его окружность отмечена огромными фундаментными стенами. Густав Фридрих фон Хетч, архитектор из Копенгагена, попытался восстановить здание по описаниям монет, а также по археологическим остаткам. Упоминания у современников Святилище часто упоминается античными авторами. «Гомеровские гимны», написанные между VII-IV веками до н. э. и приписываемые Гомеру в древности, упоминают святилище: Страбон писал: Павсаний также описывал святилище: Публий Корнелий Тацит описал алтарь и аниконический чёрный камень, которым поклонялись в святилище, как подобию Венеры: Литература Richard Maguire, Jane Chick, Approaching Cyprus: Proceedings of the Post-Graduate Conference of Cypriot Примечания
Afrodite Paphias helgedom

Afrodite Paphias helgedom var en helgedom i Paphos på Cypern, tillägnad gudinnan Afrodite. Det ansågs vara Afrodites viktigaste helgedom och centralort för hennes kult och var en berömd pilgrimsort i medelhavsvärlden i tusentals år. Helgedomen grundades i Paphos vid den strand där Afrodite enligt legenden troddes ha stigit i land vid sin födelse. Arkeologiska lämningar visar att platsen var föremål för dyrkan av en gudinna redan på 2000-talet f.Kr.. Det tros ha varit en kult av en lokal fruktbarhetsgudinna som sedan sammansmälte med kulten av den feniciska gudinnan Astarte och slutligen utvecklades till dyrkan av Afrodite, som därefter spreds till Grekland. Platsen nämns som Afrodites kultplats redan av Homeros på 700-talet f.Kr. Under antiken var den en pilgrimsort inte bara inom Cypern utan mottog pilgrimer från hela den grekiska världen, något som fortsatte och även under romarrikets tid, då Afrodite identifierades med Venus. Helgedomen nämns många gånger av antika författare och hänvisas också till inom dåtida skönlitteratur. Templet förstördes av en jordbävning under första århundradet, men återuppbyggdes av Vespasianus. Det romerska tempelkomplexet avbildas på många antika romerska mynt. Afrodite Paphias helgedom stängdes slutligen år 391 under de kristnas förföljelser av hedningarna.

Embassy of Turkey, North Nicosia

The Embassy of Turkey in North Nicosia is the sole embassy in Northern Cyprus as the rest of the international community locate their embassies to the Cyprus island in the Republic of Cyprus. The island is divided between four sides; the unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the north, the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus to the south, the United Nations buffer zone separating the two, and the British overseas territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is only recognised by Turkey, therefore its embassy is in the capital North Nicosia. Turkey does not recognise the Republic of Cyprus. The incumbent ambassador is Metin Feyzioğlu since 28 November 2022. History In June 1925, Consulate of Turkey to Cyprus (Turkish: Türkiye Şehbenderliği) opened in Larnaca. It was connected to Turkish Embassy in London. The consulate then moved to Nicosia in 1939. The new building was reflecting the traditional Turkish Cypriot architecture. After signing of the Zurich and London Treaties, the consulate in Nicosia became an embassy in 1960. Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the embassy became very close to the UN Buffer Zone. It moved to across the Turkish Northern Cyprus Parliament Building in 1978. The chancery and the residence is still located in the same place. Sub-divisions The embassy has several sub-divisions for different purposes. These include a military attaché and a press office. There are also consultancy offices for labor, social security, religious services, education, customs, treasury, finance and commercial activities. Yunus Emre Cultural Center which opened in 2015 also makes activities in the culture field.

Falcon School Cyprus

The Falcon School is an English-medium private international school in Strovolos, Nicosia, Cyprus, providing education for pupils aged 4 to 18. The school is registered with the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth of Cyprus on the official lists of private primary and secondary schools, and appears on the ministry’s list for private pre-primary institutions. History Falcon School was established in 1976 by educator Nicholas M. Ierides. On 20 May 2016 the Strovolos municipal council named the street outside the campus in his honour (Nikos Ierides Street). Academics and accreditation The school delivers an English-medium curriculum across primary and secondary levels as a registered private provider in Cyprus. In April 2025 it was authorised as an IB World School to offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11–16. Campus The campus is in Strovolos, Nicosia District, at 1 Nikos Ierides Street (postcode 2034). Local press has profiled the school and its facilities within the wider context of Cyprus’ private-school sector. Governance and regulation Private schools in Cyprus must be registered with the Ministry of Education, which approves curricula and supervises schools; fees are subject to prior approval under national rules. In March 2025 a parliamentary committee highlighted deficiencies in the legal framework for private schools, including issues around fee increases and enforcement mechanisms. Incidents 2009 fire: a fire at the Strovolos campus caused extensive damage and injured two firefighters; authorities did not attribute the incident to arson. Reception Independent press coverage of the Falcon School has largely taken the form of directory-style profiles and sector features. The Cyprus Mail Schools Guide (2021) carries an editorial profile of the school, and broader articles in the same series discuss the development of English-medium private schools in the 1970s–1980s, listing Falcon among established institutions in Nicosia. In 2019 the Phileleftheros/In-Cyprus portal published a feature on the school outlining its programmes, facilities and extra-curricular activities. The school describes itself as an accredited IB World School offering the Middle Years Programme. Coverage of alumni appears occasionally in the general press; for example, Cyprus Mail reported in 2022 that educator Marina Severis had attended the Junior School and Falcon School in Nicosia before university studies in the UK. Discussion of private-school oversight in Cyprus appears regularly in national outlets: the Eurydice network outlines the Ministry’s registration and supervision of private schools, while a 2025 parliamentary hearing reported by Philenews highlighted perceived gaps in enforcement and fee regulation affecting the sector.

The church is dedicated to Holy Mary and it is the largest church within the city walls of Nicosia. Architecturally the church edifice features a mixture of Neoclassical, Byzantine and Medieval Latin styles. Faneromeni School, founded by Archbishop Makarios I in 1857, was the first all-girls school in Cyprus. It was founded to improve rates of literacy among girls and women on the island. The Marble Mausoleum on the eastern side of Faneromeni Church is situated at the front of the building. It was built in memory of four clerics executed by the Ottoman governor in 1821, following the Cypriot revolt after the Greek War of Independence was declared. The square is surrounded by several Neoclassical buildings featuring predominantly Greek, as well as local Cypriot, architectural influences. These include the Faneromeni Library. Today the square is a meeting point for the anarchist movement of Cyprus, anti-authoritarians, libertarians, many artists and musicians. It is also a stronghold of the antifascist movement on the island. The square is considered a central point for counterculture on the island.
