This book explores seven centuries of change in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean world through the rise and fall of Famagusta's medieval Armenian Church. An examination of the complex and its art escorts the reader from the era of the Crusades in Lusignan Cyprus, through the rise and fall of the Venetian, Ottoman and British Empires, to the political stasis of the present day. The Armenian church was a home for displaced villagers during the post-independence era, became a military storage facility post-1974 and eventually fell into abandonment once again.
This study represents a pioneering history of the Armenian community in Famagusta and a probing analysis of the art and architecture it left behind. It is also a permanent record of the long-term engagement and commitment of Nanyang Technological University Singapore, the World Monuments Fund, and the Famagusta Municipality to protect this precious site, under extremely challenging circumstances.Michael J. K. Walsh, who led this project, has edited and co-edited several books on Famagusta, including Medieval and Renaissance Famagusta (2012), Crusader to Venetian Famagusta (2014) and City of Empires: Ottoman and British Famagusta (2015). He is Associate Professor of Art History in the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
