Notre Dame de Tyre, Gothic church in Arab Ahmet quarter, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The Armenian church features a square nave with high cross vaults, semi-octagonal apse, and a bell tower added in 1860.
The church originated as a Benedictine Abbey in the 13th century and transformed into an Armenian place of worship after the Ottoman conquest in 1570.
Several tomb slabs from the 14th and 15th centuries were relocated to the north porch during the 1960s preservation efforts.
The church building underwent extensive renovation work from 2007 to 2013 under UNDP supervision, receiving the Europa Nostra Award in 2015.
The church complex included the Melikian Elementary School, Ouzounian Elementary School, and Shoushanian kindergarten until the 1963 conflicts.
