Bellapais Abbey (early 20th century)

Bellapais Abbey (also spelled Bellapaïs[1]) is the ruin of a monastery built by Canons Regular in the 13th century on the northern side of the small village of Bellapais, now in Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus, about five kilometres from the town of Kyrenia. The ruin is at an altitude of 220 m above sea level, and commands a long view down to Kyrenia and the Mediterranean sea.

The site is also a museum, which hosts a restaurant and a cafe. The Abbey's refectory now serves as a venue for concerts and lectures. In early summer it is also a venue for a local music festival.

Opening hours from June to mid-September are 9 am to 7 pm; the winter hours are 9 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 4:45 pm. Opening hours from mid-September to May are 9 am to 5 pm. There is an admission charge of 15 TL.
