05 - Church of St. Anne
The small and well-proportioned Church of St Anne presents a number of distinctly Gothic elements. It closely resembles the Carmelite church in style and, therefore, probably dates from the same period of the 1300s. Due to its location in what is thought to have been the sector of the city inhabited by Oriental Christians, it may well have been a Maronite church. However, it is well documented that there was also a Benedictine nunnery of this name in medieval Famagusta, and it is also very possible that this is the remains of their church.
