AGHA-CAFER-PACHA MOSQUE
An easy-to-spot mosque, built shortly after the Ottoman conquest on the site of a former warehouse from the Lusignan period.
Easy to spot thanks to its 20 m-high minaret, this mosque (Ağa Cafer Paşa Camii) dates back to the 1580's. Still in use, it was erected shortly after the Ottoman conquest on the basis of a former warehouse from the Lusignan period, whose rectangular shape it retains. This handsome ashlar building, divided into three prayer rooms, owes its name to its donor, an admiral of the Ottoman fleet and governor of Cyprus. On the left is the fountain built in 1841 by Governor Hasan Kavizade Huseyn Efendi.
