Pedoulas (Greek: Πεδουλάς) is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located at an altitude of 1,100 m in the Troodos Mountains, 4 km south of Moutoullas. It lies in Marathasa Valley.[1] The name is derived from the words pediada (valley) and laos (people).[2] It is popular summer resort.[1]





Archangelos Michael church


Pedoulas is known for its 12 churches, varying from a 15th-century chapel to a 1930s cathedral. The most important is the Archangelos Michael (Archangel Michael) church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nine other Painted Churches in the Troödos Region.[3] It is built in 1474.[1]


Pedoulas has two museums: the Byzantine Museum, opened in 1999, and the Folklore Museum, opened in 2005. Byzantine Museum is situated near the Archangel Michael church and houses very important icons and relics from 13th to 20th century.[1]


Church of Holy Cross ( Timios Stavros), main church of Pedoulas, was built between 1933 and 1935.[1] Most important relic of Church of Holy Cross is a crucifix containing a piece of the Holy Cross, which was brought from Constantinople.[1] Church replaced old timber-roofed church and keeps icons and parts of iconostasis from 16th century. On top of one hill 1986. was built 25m high Holy Cross, standing near one chapel.[1] Not far from Holy Cross there is monument built to honor Michalis Stivaros and all killed in the Balkan Wars.[1] Monument is built in 2011 by Athanasios Ktorides Foundation.[4]

Electric locomotive Škoda ChS4-109. The Moscow — Odessa train in Vinnytsia railway station. The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
