Preliminary
After reading Hardy’s Phd Thesis on Archaeologists’ narratives on contested sites in Cyprus (Hardy 2010), a meticulous non-partisan analysis of academic oblivion and lies related to (religious) sites, and having been puzzled by contradicting or misleading information in site descriptions and news paper articles I had been reading before, I had to accept the fact that a ‘simple comparative description of two main sites in Cyprus’ –my original aim when I started to work on this article− could not be written under the current academic and political circumstances. What I tried to do, then, instead was to shed a light on the general complex situation, to show the multi-layer history of many religious sites in Cyprus and to avoid the pitfalls of the related master narratives as far as possible. This article can only be an attempt, an appeal to look closer and ask for more historical, political and institutional details in future research. I will be thankful for any sound information related to me on my
sites.

Soldiers and rulers of differing Christian confessions fought for the possession of the island including its many churches and monasteries. With the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century, some major Gothic churches were turned into mosques, but at the level
