Pedoulas

Pedoulas (Greek: Πεδουλάς) is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located at an altitude of 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) in the Troodos Mountains, 4 km south of Moutoullas.

[1] The name is derived from the words pediada (valley) and laos (people).

In 1986, on top of a hill overlooking Pedoulas, the 25m high Holy Cross was built, standing near a chapel.

[1] Not far from the Holy Cross a monument was built to honor Michalis Stivaros and all those killed in the Balkan Wars.

The Byzantine Museum is situated near the Archangel Michael church and houses very important icons and relics from the 13th to 20th century.
