This monastery was built as a tribute to a Christian saint Mamas in the early 18th century. It is said to be that there is lots of churches dedicated to him in Cyprus. Historians suppose that St. Mamas Monastery has been rebuilt on the ruins of a Byzantine church. It was restored and modified by many nations during middle ages. Therefore there are signs of various architecture styles on the structure such as Venetians, Genoese, Armanians and Byzantine.
