North Cyprus:Nestorưan Church
This churched was built by a Syrian merchant for the
Syrians living in Famagusta in 1339. There are frescoes of camels and
texts in Syriac – the language used by the Nestorians in their religious
ceremonies. The belfry and the attachments are later additions. The
entrance is very plain with a pretty rose window over it. The vaulted
ceiling is supported by pillars with ornamented shafts. Back |
