The Church of Saint Lazarus stands in the centre of Larnaca, a few minutes' walk from the Finikoudes seafront. It was built in the late 9th century over the tomb said to be that of Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

Inside is a carved and gilded wooden iconostasis from the 18th century, and the crypt below holds stone sarcophagi. It is a working church, open daily with a midday break on Sundays.
