MEDIEVAL LAPIDARY MUSEUM
Small museum housing medieval carved stones from various Frankish and Venetian buildings in Northern Cyprus.
This museum (Ortaçağ Taş Eserler Müzesi) is housed in the former hospice of St. Catherine's Church (Haydarpaşa Mosque). The courtyard and an upstairs room are home to a collection of stone carvings (coats of arms, columns, voussures, vaults, keystones, etc.) from Frankish and Venetian buildings in Northern Cyprus. The origin of the pieces is rarely mentioned. Note, however, the major work: a large 14th-century flamboyant Gothic window that belonged to the Lusignan palace near Atatürk Square, which was destroyed in 1905.
