The formerly Nestorian church is to be found in the northwestern part Famagusta. Here the Nestorians settled, among other Christian communities from the Middle East, their immigration peaking after Acre's fall in 1291. In approximately 1339, a church was built for the Nestorian community. The originally one-aisled edifice features a half-domed apse and a rose window above its door. Another two aisles were added later. Of the once plentiful mural paintings and decorations, some depictions of saints are preserved. In the mid 19th century, the church became a Greek Orthodox one and received the name of St George the Exiler (Ayios Yeoryios Exorinos. It remained a house of prayer until 1963.

Today it serves as a cultural centre of the Eastern Mediterranean University, and for the Sunday services of Famagusta's Anglican community.
