Tsada was the home village of [[EOKA]] member [[Evagoras Pallikarides]]. Although the history of the village can be counted 500 years ago, there is no significant architectural character, and only a few residences were reconstructed in the traditional way. The Melisovouno hill between Tsada and [[Koili]] village hosts Paphos television and radio [[Antenna (radio)|antenna]].

==Landmarks==
There is a 12th-century chapel just outside the village that used to be a part of a monastery. Nowadays, "Stavros tis Minthis" is right next to an 18-hole golf course, [[Minthis Hills]], the first ever created in Cyprus.  Here a resort will be created.
To the west of the village stands the 613m [[Tsiárta]] mountain.
==Transportation==
Tsada lies next to a transportation hub linking most of Paphos district's villages. It is next to the current route from Paphos to Polis, and to the main route towards traditional villages like [[Kallepia]] and [[Choulou]]. There is a bus connection to both Paphos and the Polis − Lachi area on a daily basis. By 2010 Tsada will be accessible via the [[A7 motorway (Cyprus)|A7]] which is planned to give [[Polis, Cyprus|Polis]] a Motorway link. [[Moutti tou Naki|Mouttis tou Naki]] street is one of the busiest arteries of the village.
