This is what a UNDP press release said, adding: “The preservation of the Evretou/Evretu Mosque has a unique cultural significance as it is important for the history of the settlement as well as a testimony of religious architecture in Cyprus.”
Tthe Mosque - built at the beginning of the XX century on the main road of a small village, was selected as part of the priority intervention emergency projects of the Committee.
The project was implemented by the United Nations Development Programme Partnership for the Future (UNDP-PFF).
Conservation works focused on cleaning of the site including removal of vegetation, excavation for the purposes of natural drainage and prevention of further erosion of the external stonewall, repair to windows and the entire reconstruction of the roof.
The project also included repairs to internal and external walls, strengthening of structure with metal rods, restoration of stonework and rebuilding and sealing of joints.
The cost of the project was of approximately €73,600 Euros, including works, designs and supervision costs. It was fully funded by the European Union.
