EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the 13th century, where the magnificent Bellapais Abbey stands as a testament to medieval architectural brilliance. Built by the Premonstratensian order during the Lusignan dynasty's rule over Cyprus, this French Crusader stronghold exudes an aura of grandeur and religious significance. The image captures an archway within the abbey's walls, showcasing its Gothic design and intricate details that have withstood the test of time. The sharp lines and well-preserved ruins evoke a sense of awe, inviting us to imagine how this sacred place once thrived as a center for Christian worship. Located in Kyrenia Girne, Northern Cyprus, Bellapais Abbey holds immense historical value in its role as a hub for spirituality and cultural exchange throughout the Middle Ages. Its strategic position overlooking the Mediterranean Sea further adds to its allure. Photographer Vivienne Sharp skillfully captures both the physical beauty and spiritual essence of this ancient structure through her lens.
