Notre Dame de Tyre
About the Site
Notre Dame de Tyre is a historic Armenian church in the Arab Ahmet Pasha district of North Nicosia. Originally built as part of a monastic complex, the building reflects the medieval history and religious architecture of the island's Armenian community. Travellers visit to observe its Gothic stone construction, historical masonry, and calm setting.
Getting There
The church is located along Salahi Sevket Street. From central North Nicosia, walking to the site takes about 10 to 15 minutes through the old town. Travellers arriving via Larnaca International Airport (LCA) can reach the city in roughly 45 to 60 minutes by road before continuing on foot.
Time to Spend
Plan for 20 to 30 minutes. This provides enough time to view the building, examine the exterior details, and walk around the quiet grounds.

Mornings and late afternoons are ideal to avoid midday heat, especially in summer. Spring and autumn offer comfortable walking temperatures. The site rarely gets crowded, making it a peaceful stop throughout the year.
