Bayraktar Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Nicosia, Cyprus
The Bayraktar Mosque features a rectangular design with a three-arched narthex at the front and a minaret rising from its structure.
The mosque marks the site where an Ottoman flag bearer fell during the conquest of Cyprus in 1570, leading to its construction and naming.
The structure houses both a prayer space and a tomb section, reflecting the Ottoman practice of combining memorial and religious functions.
The mosque, located on Leoforos Konstantinou Paleologou in Nicosia, reopened for worship in 2003 following extensive restoration work.
Until 1930, the mosque contained what believers considered a beard of Muhammad, which disappeared after a theft on November 27.
