Originally built in 1649, the monastery appears listed as one of the first monasteries on the island. The founders of the monastery, Saints Cosmas and Damianos, cared for the sick and dying and never accepted reward. This mission was continued by a further 38 “doctors”, who later all forty were declared as the “Ayii Anargyri”, hence the monastery’s name, which comes from the Greek word: the Saints who receive “no payment”.
It wasn't until the 19th century, following the discovery of the mineral content in the waters, where the monastery expended to accommodate monks and later nuns, who benefited from the sulphur baths. Three and a half centuries after its erection, the monastery is currently undergoing renovation and is expected to open its doors to the public in 2008.

Ayii Anargyri History
Hidden amongst the citrus trees from the main Pafos- Polis Chrysochous road stands the old monastery of Ayii Anargyri.
It was built in 1649 on the site of a stone-age settlement. The monastery appears to be listed as one of the first 79 monasteries on the Island.
It is said that two brothers, Saints Cosmas & Damianos, founded the monastery. The men were well known on the Island, as they cared for the sick and the dying - and they never accepted payment, hence the monastery's name, which comes from the Greek meaning "without payment".
Apparently there are many stories about the brothers told by those living in the neighbouring villages, not least of all that the brothers did not seem to care very much about house hold work as they left the eggs outside in the sun to turn mouldy!
The explanation for this was not apparent for many years until the water tests at the end of the 19th Century rev
