The monastery of Agios Neofytos at Tala, near Paphos, Cyprus.


In the 12th century a Cypriot hermit and writer, Neofytos, is said to have carved a home and chapel (an Enkleistra) in the mountainside, which would later become an important monastery and one of the most tranquil spots in the Paphos district of Cyprus.
