Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, Gothic mosque in Famagusta, Cyprus
The building features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and twin western towers, incorporating both Islamic and Christian architectural elements within its stone structure.
Originally constructed as Saint Nicholas Cathedral between 1298 and 1312, the building was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman conquest of 1571.
The structure represents the convergence of French Gothic architecture and Islamic religious practices, with a mihrab and minaret added to the medieval cathedral.
The mosque opens daily for prayers, requiring visitors to remove shoes and dress appropriately, with women needing to cover their heads.
The building contains several medieval royal tombs in its north aisle, including those of the last Lusignan rulers of Cyprus.
