The town square of Paralimni is dominated by the metropolitan, three-aisled church, dedicated to St George, the patron saint of the town. The church was finished in 1966 in a traditional Byzantine style and is full of contemporary frescoes. The impressive fresco which decorates the dome depicts the “All Powerful” surrounded by the Archangels, the Prophets and numerous saints. The gothic church of St George is located next to the metropolitan church in the main square of Paralimni. According to a marble inscription, it was erected in 1859 in the place of an older Byzantine church, parts of which have been incorporated in this one. Part of its northern wall is covered with a large fresco depicting St George killing a dragon.

Among green orchards at the foothill of Phanos, which is the highest hill in Paralimni, visitors can find the chapel of Archangelos Gabriel. In 1965, during the building of the chapel, a stone cross sculpture was found in the area, proof that in the past there was a church here. This cross was incorporated in the new chapel. In 1998 the chapel was restored and its walls were decorated with frescoes.

In an attempt to honour their protector Saint, everyone involved in marine professions in Paralimni decided to build a chapel dedicated to him. The perfect place was found next to the sea overlooking the harbour where they tie their boats. Small in size, whitewashed, with a blue painted dome, the chapel of Agios Nikolaos, reminds one of the chapels found on the Aegean islands.

The construction of this masterpiece, designed by Louis Kahn, took 22 years from 1961 until its completion in 1983, interrupted only by the war for liberation from Pakistan. Today, the structure is used as assembly grounds by the parliament of the country. The monumental building ranks among some of the finest examples of modern Bangladeshi architecture.
