Chavouza

Havouza is the name of the enormous water tank located just above the ruins of Agia Anna’s monastery, which supplied and continues to supply the village’s residents with water. The engraved date and shield depicting a dove grasping an olive branch indicate that it was constructed in 1961 at the expense of the newly established Republic of Cyprus. Another minor deposit located in a different, more elevated region. It was presumably constructed by the English in 1956 for the same purpose. This large tank is surrounded by a small area of arable land that, while under the care of a farmer, practically filled with crimson anemones, attracting the attention of children who, in their restless spirit, walked there to take in the view of the village from above.
