Title A name given to the resource Listed Monument (Plot 345), Pera Orinis Description An account of the resource Listed monument building located in the village of Pera Orinis (ca. 280 m from the river Pedieos). The locals refer to this building as “<em>Kafenedes tou Christou</em>” (Christos coffeeshop). In fact, the building used to serve as a traditional coffeeshop and trade center for the village before the 1950s. On the monument, there is an inscription ‘’1894 Τ.Π.’’, which is likely the date that the structure was originally built.<br /><br />The building seems to have been built in different phases and it consists of 3 parts; 2 typical double spaces (<em>dichoro</em>), each with an arch in the middle, and an L-shape 2 story building. It has an interior garden space with an exterior stone staircase leading to the (second story) upper floor, where the bedrooms were originally located. <br /><br />The main construction material is local (igneous and sedimentary) stone. The upper floor is constructed with mud bricks. Tests performed in-situ with a Rebound Hammer, as per ASTM C805 and ASTM D5873, to estimate the strength of various stone blocks, resulted in an average compressive strength &gt;100 MPa for the basalt and dolerite and 5-15 MPa for the limestone. Gypsum mortars were also identified based on XRD analyses. <br /><br />The aforementioned tests were carried out in 2024, in the framework of a combined laboratory and in situ investigation that was conducted to determine the physico-mechanical and mineralogical characteristics of the building materials of the monument. Sampling and testing was assigned to the Building Materials and LEDRA Laboratories of the University of Cyprus by SYRITA HOMES, owner of the monument.
