The Church of Panagia Karmiotissa, located northwest of Polemidia and near the new Limassol Hospital, is an abandoned old monastery of the Carmelite monks. On the site where the church stands today, there was many years ago a monastery dedicated to Panagia Eleousa. This monastery was built in the early 14th century by the Carmelite monks, a monastic order of Western Roman Catholics. Unfortunately, there is not much information about the history of this monastery, nor about the exact time of its abandonment.
