Carmelite (St Mary of Carmel) Church​

This Carmelite church was part of a monastic complex dedicated to the Virgin Mary, built between 1324 and 1366 and painted sometime between the 14th and 15th Centuries. It is a beautiful and simple building consisting of a single nave with three bays and a semi hexagonal apse. Located in the walled city of Famagusta, adjacent the Martinengo Bastion, St. Anne Church forms part of the so-called “Martinengo Cluster”. Clusters are critical mass areas of monuments identified by the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in the Famagusta, Paphos and Karpasia/Karpaz regions, to promote the economic growth and territorial development of these areas.

St. Anne Church

It also consists of a single nave with two bays with groin vaults separated by transverse ribs.

St. Mary of the Armenians Church​
