Economia della Cultura, 2012, issue 3, 279-286

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between cultural heritage and thestresses of prolonged conflict in Cyprus. By looking at the churches in avillage in the northern part of the island, which represent different approachesby the government and the actual community in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, it underpins the concept that the re-use of the churches ensured their survival whilst other disused churches have suffered from lack of maintenance. The study specifically concerns the attitude of the present community towards the protection of churches and the importance of their role in the resultant lack of financial sources for heritage protection.
