The monastery and tomb of the Apostle Barnabas

We visited the complex near Salamis and consider the church, museum and the place associated with the veneration of the Apostle Barnabas together.

Early Christian tradition and a later monastic complex

The complex stands close to ancient Salamis and connects early Christian tradition with the archaeology of the eastern part of the island.

Our photographs show the monastery church, the grounds of the complex and a cave space that pilgrimage tradition associates with the tomb of the Apostle Barnabas.

In the text and activities we distinguish between what can be observed and dated at the site, information presented in the museum, and church tradition.
