Another of Famagusta’s remarkable Gothic-era ruined churches is the Church of St Mary of Carmel or the Carmelite Church. Found in the Syrian quarter of Famagusta, along with the Armenian, Nestorian, and Jacobite churches (along with two underground churches), it was one of the city’s larger edifices. There are still frescoes to be found there, though tragically faded by centuries of sun and rain. There are sculptures, too, around the main portal. Like many of Famagusta’s many churches, it was built in the 14th century, when chroniclers thought Famagusta to be one of the richest cities in Christendom.
