Cyprus: Neophytos monastery - Enkleistra (hermit's cave) where Neophytos lied as a hermit in the 12th century. The hermit and scholar Neophytos settled at what's referred to as the Ayios Neophytos Monastery in 1159, carving a home for himself out of the rock. Known in his time as the leading critic of Richard the Lion-Hearted and the Byzantine tax collectors, today he is best known for what became a series of grottoes hewn from the hillside rock and the evocative religious frescoes -- some actually painted by Neophytos -- they contain. The monastery itself, with no more than a half-dozen or so monks, is situated below the grottoes 6 miles north of Paphos. 固opFoto / Fortean
