It ceased to function in the late 19th century. The name, Makedonitissa, derives from the parsley plant that in Cyprus is called "makedonision". Today the site is occupied by the church Our Lady of Makedonitissas. Also in Makedonitissa is the Makarios Stadium and the International Trade Fair exhibition site.
