Eight kilo-meters south of Esentepe village, Antiphonitis Church used to be the center of an in-fluential monastery. Its fresco-covered walls are very inter-esting. The church, de-dicated to Virgin Mary, was built in the 7th century, however the nartex to its west and the gallery to its south were added by the Lusignans. Built during the Byzantine period, it is thought to be built by local artists due to its unusual style.
