The Church of Saint Spyridon in Assia: A 'Trapped' History

September 8, 2024

The church of Saint Spyridon in Assia is a 'trapped' church located within a Turkish military camp. Built by Michael Kasyalos in the 1960s, there is currently little information about its fate. The village chief mentions that at least the church still stands, while other churches and buildings in the area have suffered more damage and are inaccessible. This situation reflects the broader conflict and consequences of the invasion in the region.
