Latin St. George Church was built in the late 13th century and the stones and bricks of Salamis ruins has been used in the construction.The church has many beautiful examples of Gothic architecture patterns on it. It is thought to have been modelled on the St. Chapelle chruch 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.
