An ancient column capital has been found by construction workers in Cyprus.
The stone artifact, which once formed the topmost member of a column (or a pilaster) was discovered by workmen west of the church which is currently undergoing a complete restoration.
Priest Georgios Ioannou said that as soon as the column capital was uncovered, the officer responsible for the excavations at the Antiquities Department was notified and verified the importance of the cultural heritage in this area.
