Agios Georgios Church, Pyla

Pyla (Griechisch Πύλα, Turkish: Pile) is a village in Larnaca District, Cyprus. The village is located in the eastern part of the island, in the UN administered Demilitarized zone that separates the internationally recognized southern half of the island from the Turkish occupied northern third of the island . The village is located very close to the UK Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area. From a legal point of view, it is administered as all other areas controlled by the (Greek-) Cypriot government.

The village is special in the respect that it is the only settlement in Cyprus still inhabited by both its original Greek- and Turkish-Cypriot inhabitants. The village has two churches and one mosque.
