Mammari is a village in the Nicosia province and it is 16 km west of the capital next to the Green Line. Mammari was known for its "Sandstone". In the village there were quarries known as "caves". It is worth mentioning that many Nicosia houses, churches and bell towers were built with the "stone" of Mammari as well as half the church of St. George and its bell tower. The village church is called Agios Georgios which was built at a higher point of the village and to the east. It is a stone-built church with a royal rhythm. The church was built in two phases. The old part of the church, which mainly includes the sanctuary of the present temple and for which there is no precise information on when it was made. The church in its present form was completed in 1870. To the east of the old church of St. George, there is an original tomb. Inside this were found 7 carved stone tombs, of which the six, different vases and bones are preserved, which confirms the view that this area was formerly used as a cemetery. It is worth noting that during the Ottoman domination the tomb was the place of worship and protection of the faithful. #MammariVillageNicosiaCyprus
