Famagusta (Greek: Aµµo'xwsto*s, Ammochostos; Turkish: Gazimagusa; Italian: Famagosta) is a city on the east coast of Cyprus and capital of the Famagusta District. It lies on the east coast in a bay between Capes Greco and Eloea, east of Nicosia, and possesses the deepest harbour in the island. Since the 1974 Turkish invasion the city has resided in the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognised only by Turkey).

www.tourism.trnc.net sitesinden alıntı Lüzinyanlar döneminde, 1298 - 1312 yılları arasında yapılmış olan yapı, tüm Akdeniz dünyasının en güzel Gotik yapılarındandır. Lüzinyan kralları, önce Lefkoşa'da St. Sophia Katedrali'nde Kıbrıs Kralı, sonra da Mağusa'da St. Nicholas Katedrali'nde Kudüs Kralı olarak taç giyerlerdi. 1571 yılında cami haline getirilene dek, bu törenler yapılagelmiştir. Katedralin Batı cephesi mimarisi Fransa'daki Reims Katedralinden etkilenmiştir. Gotik tarzda işlemeli eşsiz bir penceresi bulunmaktadır. 16. yy. Venedik galerisi avluda yer almakta ve günümüzde şadırvan olarak kullanılmaktadır. Girişteki yuvarlak pencerelerin üzerinde bir Venedik arması görülmektedir. Bazı hayvan figürleriyle süslü kabartmanın Salamis'teki bir tapınaktan geldiği sanılmaktadır. Katedralin apsiti, çoğu Kıbrıs kiliselerinde olduğu gibi, Doğu üslubunda, üç bölmelidir. Yukarıdaki pencereler iyi korunmuş olup, batı cephesinde ve yanda iki şapel bulunmaktadır. Yapının önünde bulunan tarihi cümbez ağacı adanın kuzeyinde çok az bulunmakta olan tropik bir incir türüdür. from www.tourism.trnc.net The building which was constructed between the years 1298-1312 in the Lusignan period is one of the most beautiful Gothic structures of the Meditteranean region. The Lusignan kings would be inaugurated as the King of Cyprus at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Nicosia first, and following this they would be crowned as the King of Jerusalem at the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Famagusta. These ceremonies continued to be held until 1571 when the cathedral was turned into a mosque by the Ottoman Turks. The architecture of the western front of the building has been influenced by the architecture of the Reims Cathedral. It has an unparalleled window with Gothic style tracery. The 16th century Venetian gallery in the courtyard is today used as a reservoir for ablutions. A Venetian insignia can be seen above the circular windows at the entrance. The relief ornamented with animal figures is thought to have been brought from a temple in Salamis. The apsis of the cathedral is in the Eastern style and is composed of three parts as in most Cyprus churches. The windows in the top part have been well preserved. There are two chapels at the side. The cumbez tree in front -a tropical fig tree- is a rare tree in the north of the island.
