Agios Georgios Hill, Nicosia

Agios Georgios Hill is an archaeological site in Nicosia, Cyprus [1]. The site is rich and complex, spanning almost the entire history of Nicosia from the Chalcolithic through the Byzantine and Lusignan periods [1]. The surveyed archaeological area is about 650 m2, the whole area measuring 49500 m2 [1]. Excavation in the north part of the archaeological site started fortuitously in 1996 as a rescue operation after the old building of the Pancyprian Public Servants' Trade Union was demolished to make way for the construction of the House of Representatives [1]. Campaigns of excavation have continued on a regular basis since the discovery [1]. The succession of three medieval churches have been excavated and reported by Despina Pilides [1].
