Gazimağusa (Famagusta), a walled city on the east coast

Armenian and Carmelites churches

The Saint Mary Armenian church, probably built in the 14th century by Armenian refugees, who came to Cyprus from the southern coast of Turkey before the French Lusignans arrived. They settled in the Syrian quarter of Famagusta, so named because that was where the Carmelites from Syria were based. It is quite small, with just one aisle and a cylindrical apse. Behind it is the church dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, built in the 14th century by Carmelites who first came to Cyprus in 1226.
