Kalopanagiotis
community in Nicosia District, Republic of Cyprus
Kalopanagiotis (Greek: Καλοπαναγιώτης; Turkish: Kalapanayot) is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located 3 km north of Moutoullas in the Troodos Mountains. It lies in Marathasa Valley. The village and its architecture include cobbled streets and footpaths, chapels and churches. Houses with tiled rooftops, balconies, courtyards and shady vine trees are characteristic of the village. The village is surrounded by the green vegetation of the Setrachos Valley.
In the village, there are a number of churches and chapels, such as the churches of Saint Marina and Panayia Theotokos, the chapels of Saint Andronikos and Saint Athanasia, Saint George, Saint Kyriakos, Archangelos Michael, Saint Sergios and Bachos and Panayia Theoskepasti.
The most notable Byzantine monuments in the area include the monastery of Saint John Lampadistis, and the Kykkos watermill. The monastery of Saint John Lampadistis is one of the ten Painted Churches in the Troödos Region, which were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 because of their outstanding frescoes and testimony to the history of Byzantine rule in Cyprus.

Why this record matters
The phrase “community in Nicosia District, Republic of Cyprus” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6354269. Authority coordinates are 34.993, 32.828. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
