The remains of an ancient settlement which was identified as the city of Ourania, it is home to the church of Panagia, the church of Asomatos and Agios Georgios church.

At the site of Aphendrika on the north coast of the Karpas peninsula, the remains of an ancient settlement which was identified as the city of Ourania, mentioned by ancient writers, exists.

According to the testimony of the ancient historian Diodorus Siculus (1st century BC), Ourania existed during the Hellenistic period. It was conquered together with the neighbouring city of Karpasia by Demetrius Poliorcetes, the son of Antigonus Monophthalmus, during the conflict between the successors of Alexander the Great for the partition of the empire. Ourania, however, is not mentioned by ancient geographers and historians who wrote about Cyprus, like Strabo and Claudius Ptolemy. This implies that the city had already been abandoned by their time. The archaeological evidence provided by the necropolises (cemeteries) of Ourania proves the existence of the city between the 6th and the 2nd century BC. The ruins at Aphendrika were first identified as the city of ancient Ourania by the British archaeologist David George Hogarth (1889) and the Cypriot scholar Ieronymos Peristianis (1910). The site preserves the remains of an ancient settlement with a harbour, which thrived possibly during the Classical Period. Three ruined churches and other architectural remains imply that the site prospered again from the Early to the Middle Byzantine Period (6th-12th). These churches are the basilica of Panagia Aphendrika (Chrysiotissa), the basilica of Asomatos and the church of Agios Georgios.
