This church was designed as a Bedesten church with gothic architectural style, but was later converted into a covered bazaar. We can also say that it was used for many different purposes such as textile and food markets, flour markets and wheat warehouses during the Ottoman period. Traders of Turkish, Greek and Armenian origin continued their trade in this region for a while. It can be said that the first purpose of the church was to worship.

Selimiye Mosque

This building is remembered as the main mosque of Nicosia. Thanks to its size, the mosque can accommodate 2500 people at the same time. Once upon a time, Selimiye Mosque was a building where the kings of Cyprus were crowned.

Great Khan

Büyük Han is located in the Selimiye District of Nicosia. This building is one of the two inns that have survived from the Ottoman period to the present day. With this feature, we can say that it is an extremely old inn. The Great Han, which is said to have been built after Cyprus was captured by the Ottoman Empire, served to accommodate merchants coming from other regions.

In later periods, it begins to be rented to people with low financial income in accordance with its purpose. The Great Inn, which stopped its service on the grounds that it was unhygienic, was restored in the following years. This building, which is surrounded by a courtyard, has two floors in total. Currently, Büyük Han appears as a building that houses shops and workshops, and hosts concerts and exhibitions. You can browse these shops inside the Büyük Han and enrich your general culture.

Arab Ahmet Mosque
