Lympia
Lympia or Lymbia ((ギリシア語:Λύμπια)) is a large village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus. In 2011 the population was 2,694. The name derives from the original name of the settlement ''Olympia''. ==History==
The road leading from Mosfiloti to Lympia, a stone-made bridge was constructed in 1944 over the Tremithos river. 1300 metres north of the bridge, towards the Lympia village, there is a small chapel dedicated to Saint Marina. Next to it there was a shepherds' settlement. When the Ottoman Turkish army arrived in these areas from Lefkara, during 1570, it attacked the settlement with cannons, which the Turks were trying out for the first time. They started firing against the houses with stone shells and the settlement was destroyed along with the church. The inhabitants that survived took refuge in Lympia village. The day that "Agia Marina" was destroyed was a Tuesday and ever since then the region was named "Kakotriti" (Bad Tuesday). The church of Saint Marina was rebuilt, while signs of caves can still be found in the area of the settlement.
