This mosque, built around 1571, incorporates elements of an early Christian church and a Arab mosque.
This mosque (Piri Mehmet Paşa Camii) was built around 1571 on the orders of Mehmet Bey Ebubekir, the first Ottoman governor of Cyprus, and bears the name of his grandfather, Piri Mehmet Pacha, grand vizier of the Empire from 1518 to 1523. Preserving 3 arches on the façade and 5 more at the rear, it incorporates elements of an early Christian church and a 7th-century Arab mosque. The cemetery houses the beautiful tomb of Osman Pacha, a great admiral and governor of the island who died in 1839.
