St Anna Church |
St Anna church was built in the 14 century,
and is thought to have been part of a monastery. It is single-aisled
with two bays, and Gothic features resembling those of southern France
The walls are supported by external buttresses, between which can be
seen tall windows, a typically Gothic feature. the apse is polygonal
with buttresses.
Originally the facade supported a belfry, but that has disappeared.
The church can be found close to the north west corner of Famagusta and
is marked on some maps as being inside a restricted military area. This
is not correct, and has not been for some time, although the barbed wire
and "no photography" signs are still in place. The area, however, has
been taken over by a school, so access is still restricted to a certain
extent. Back to
