Arabahmet Mosque, Ottoman mosque in western Nicosia, Cyprus.
The mosque features a prominent central dome measuring 6 meters in diameter, accompanied by three smaller domes at the entrance and four at the corners.
Built in the late 16th century, this religious structure stands on the former site of a Latin church, with scattered remnants still visible around the premises.
The mosque garden contains the tomb of Mehmet Kamil Pasha, the first Cypriot to reach the position of Grand Vizier in the Ottoman Empire.
The mosque underwent renovations in 1845 and again in the 1990s, maintaining its status as an operating religious center for the local community.
Several 14th-century gravestones at the site display inscriptions of Veneto families, including names such as Francesco Cornar and Antonio de Bergamo.
