The chapel of Panaia Kardakiotissa was likely constructed in the 15th century and is located one kilometre to the northwest of Alona, immediately adjacent to the route that connected the village to Nicosia. The single-aisled church in the Vasiliki style with a wooden roof, built on a hill that embraced it from the south, was the Akritas, so to speak, of the Alona settlement that protected it from the north and served as a place of hope and refuge for those who fled or returned to the village. To the east of the chapel and towards the river were the ruins of a small settlement whose date of establishment is uncertain.
