The church of St. George of the Greeks in occupied Famagusta is the largest Orthodox church of the Frankish period in Cyprus with dimensions 37.5 × 20.5 m The construction of the temple is placed in the second half of the 14th century. Architecturally, the church combines Gothic basilica with a Byzantine dome. The church interior was painted, but the majority of the murals is not preserved today. Some parts of frescoes that have survived (in the dome of the central arch, arch on the south and the south wall) were maliciously damaged after the events of 1974.
