A MOUNTAIN LANDMARK
A RICH HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
The Piskopou Bridge, often referred to as ‘Piskopos Crossing,’ is a notable architectural and historical landmark located by the village of Fini, in the Limassol district of the Troodos Mountains. The bridge is surrounded by dense, wild vegetation, thanks to the water of the river that it crosses, and this embodies the island’s rich historical narrative, architectural ingenuity, and cultural significance. The name of the bridge is thought to have been derived from one of the bishops of Saint Anargyra, who often used the crossing to transfer local goods with his mules after it was rebuilt. The bishop used the bridge as a halfway resting point and was often found sitting at one end of it by other travellers. With this in mind, the 500 hundred-year-old bridge has witnessed centuries of change, while maintaining its role as a critical link within its local community.
