Built around 1100, the church of Asinou in Cyprus is decorated with accretions of images, from the fresco cycle executed shortly after construction to those made in the seventeenth century. This volume sets Asinou's art and architecture in the context of the surrounding area's changing fortunes under Byzantine, Lusignan, Venetian, and Ottoman rule.
