This picture depicts a member of the STARC team surveying the exterior façade of the Church of Panagia (Our Lady) tis Aggeloktistis in Kiti. During the survey of the site the team had to adopt a common system of measurements, thus, a reference survey network was created. Before the scanning process and photo acquisition targets were positioned on several visual faces of the church in order to reference and geo-reference the results on a local system. The architectural plan of the church belongs to the type of the domed, cross-in-square structure. Its current form is a result of later additions and alterations. In the 12th century, a barrel-vaulted parekklesi (chapel) was built to the north of the temple, dedicated to the healer saints Anargiroi, Kosmas and Damianos. Medieval tombs were found outside the northern side of the chapel, and it is possible that it had a funerary character. In the end of the 13th/beginning of the 14th century, another chapel (the so-called Latiniko parekklesi (Latin Chapel), was built to the south of the church of Panagia, in order to serve the religious needs of the then rulers of Cyprus. Three coats-of-arms still survive above the chapel’s entrance. One of them belongs to the rich Frankish family Gibelet, owners of the chapel. The inscribed tombstone of Simone Renier de Gibelet, who died in 1302 still survives inside the chapel. It is quite possible that the chapel was contemporary to her burial and that it also had a funerary character. This image was taken during the 3D scanning session of June 2014.
