The Seven Green Men of Nicosia (Cyprus)
A film purely for reference purposes showing the Seven Green Men on the Church of St Nicholas in Nicosia, Cyprus, the so-called Seven Green Men of Nicosia.
The core of this medieval church was built in the twelfth century, on the site of an earlier Christian basilica, but the gothic sculptural facade (never completed), in which the seven Green Men are set, was added in the thirteenth century.
Although called St Nicholas, this is a misunderstanding based on a visiting nineteenth-century German archaeologist misreading the sculpture on the facade. He thought one of the figures looked like St Nicholas and so the church must have been dedicated to the saint. Most historians now accept that the church was in fact St Mary's, and was never dedicated to St Nicholas, although some believe it might have been the original St Sophia Cathedral. A later St Sophia gothic cathedral (much larger) sits next to it. That said the Turkish authorities in this part of Nicosia still label the church wrongly as St Nicholas. It is also known as The Bedesten as when the muslims took over Cyprus in 1571 they turned the church into a market or bedesten.
Also contrary to popular and tour guide belief the church was never a Latin (Roman Catholic) church, despite its gothic appearance. Even during French and Venetian rule in the Middle Ages it was always a Greek Orthodox church. Cyprus is almost unique in having a number of Orthodox Christian church buildings built in the gothic style (such as parts of St Lazarus in Larnaca and St George of the Greeks in Famagusta.
