The Nestorian Church (Turkish: Nasturi Kilisesi), officially known as the Church of St. George the Exiler (Greek: Ο Άγιος Γεώργιος ο Εξορινός; Turkish: Ay İkserino Kilisesi) is a church in the old town of Famagusta, Cyprus. Originally built as a church belonging to the Church of the East, an ancient Nestorian branch of Eastern Christianity, it was converted to a Greek Orthodox Church in the British era after centuries of use as a stable for camels in the Ottoman era. It is one of the legendary "365 churches of Famagusta".^[1]
