As the head of the Church of Cyprus, the holder is styled Archbishop of Nova Justiniana and All Cyprus.

During the Lusignan and later Venetian rule from 1260–1571, the Church of Cyprus ceased to be autocephalous and came under the direct rule of the Papacy; its fourteen dioceses were reduced to four until after the Ottoman conquest in 1571, when the Ottomans, for expedient administrative reasons, restored to the Orthodox Church of Cyprus all its previous privileges and rights.
