St. Catherine's Church, Limassol
What It Is
St. Catherine's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Limassol under the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Located near the seafront promenade, it serves the local Catholic community. Visitors stop here to see its distinct architecture, featuring Baroque and neoclassical elements, and to find a quiet space for reflection.
Getting There
From the city centre or Molos promenade, the church is a 5- to 10-minute walk along the coastal road. Local buses running along the waterfront also stop nearby.
Time to Allow
Allow 15 to 30 minutes. The building is compact, so a brief walkthrough of the nave and sanctuary is sufficient.
