Dating from 1903, it is distinguished by its Arabesque architecture. The son of France's King Saint Louis was buried here in 1248.

This mosque (Sarayönü Camii) dates from 1903 and owes its name ("in front of the palace") to its proximity to the former Lusignan palace, near Atatürk Square. Designed by an English architect who had lived in Andalusia, it features an Arabesque style unusual to Cyprus. On its site was a Carmelite monastery founded around 1250 and destroyed by the Venetians in 1567. It was here that some of the kings of Cyprus were buried, as well as the son of the French king Saint Louis, Jean, who died shortly after his birth in 1248.
