Aristoklis Avgousti Monument in Prastio Village

Few Words

The residents of Prastion responded to each request for defence of the nation. Aristokles Augusti played a crucial role in the EOKA’s actions during its liberation struggle from 1955 to 1959. After his demise, the community erected a monument in his honour. The erection in the hero’s honour is the minimum act of respect and appreciation for his person. In addition to himself and his family, a hero’s honour also extends to his hometown. Thus, every year on the anniversary of his death, following the memorial service held in the church, a wreath-laying ceremony is held. Aristocles Augustus’ memorial service is conducted at the end of May.

Mouslem Mosque in Prastio Village

Few Words

Opposite the baths of Hodzia, the historic mosque (Mosque) where Muslims of the region performed their religious duties is preserved. It bears no Muslim symbols, such as a minaret or anything else. It is a structure with its own barrier that serves as a reminder of the Turkish Cypriots’ presence in the village prior to their transfer to the occupied areas of our island. According to some accounts, prior to its conversion into a mosque, this location was a Christian church. This is not ruled out, as there are numerous examples of Christians converting in our country.

“Baths of Hodzias” are one of the remnants of the Turkish occupation in the village. In addition, many Turkish Cypriots resided in the village for decades. Hodzias’s presence in this village was significant because he played a significant role. Hodzias’is a scholar of Islamic law and his primary responsibility, in addition to his other duties, is that of a teacher, according to the Muslim religion. The baths attributed to Hodzia are a tiny area where the Muslim religion’s representative and other prominent men of his time bathed. In the baths, there were workers who performed duties such as lighting the fire and heating the cauldron with water in order to operate the baths. There are three basic chambers in the bathrooms. Additionally, these baths have been preserved, renovated, and redesigned to become one of the village’s attractions.
