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.
