Latin St. George Church
Latin St. George Church
Constructed in the late 13th century, the church is one of the
beautiful examples of the Gothic style of architecture. Material
from the Salamis ruins was used in its construction. It is thought
to have been modelled on the St. Chapelle church in Paris. It
has a nave with five sections and a chancel. What has survived
throughout the years is this chancel and the northern wall.
The wide, tall windows once had Gothic traceries. That the church
had been constructed before the city-walls is evident from the
rampart like structure of the building.
