Summary
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.
Note
This volume of essays is largely the outcome of the conference Reconsidering Cultural Heritage in an Unrecognised State: The Armenian Church, Famagusta hosted by the Trans-Mediterranean Studies Research Center, Institute of Art History, and in collaboration with the Institute of Advanced Study in the Humanities at the University of Bern, Switzerland, on January 8, 2015. It was organized by Michael Walsh and funded by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore.
