Oroklini ({{lang-el|Ορόκλινη}}), or less commonly Voroklini ({{lang|el|Βορόκληνη}}), is a village in Larnaca District, Cyprus, to the north-east of Larnaca. Its population in 2011 was 6,134.

History

The region around village was inhabited in ancient times,[5] when there was intense mining in that region, especially copper.[5] It was an estate of despots, probably destroyed by Saracens. Leontios Machairas in his Chronicle mentions raids by the Saracens in that region during the reign of Janus of Cyprus (1398-1432).[5] Oroklini and surrounding villages were abandoned in the 15th century, resettled, then again temporarily abandoned and again resettled in the 16th century.[5]

In the 17th century it is mentioned in Venetian documents as Vorochini[5]: during this period the village was yet again abandoned. It was finally permanently settled in the 18th century.[5]

Industry

Although copper is no longer mined, there are a number of quarries of grey soli, Umber and tera alba.[5]

Bird protection area

Oroklini lake is designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and was subject to a three-year project starting in January 2012 to bring the lake to ″favourable conservation status″. Black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) and the spur-winged lapwing (Vanellus spinosus) were the main target species along with fifty-eight bird species that migrate through, or overwinter within the SPA.[6] The shallow salt lakes are also home to greater flamingo.

Churches

There are several deserted chapels in the area next to the mountainside.The old small church of Archangel Michael from 17 century is built in byzantine style.[5] It was rebuilt in 1867.[5] New church of Archangel Michael is built in 1986.[5]

The small church of Prophet Elias was built in the 16th century on the hilltop west of the village.[5] There was also the Church of Saint Thomas, which was a monastery from the 10th century.[5]
