Former mosque occupying the walls of the great Catholic church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul (1359). Now an exhibition space.
This former mosque (Sinan Paşa Camii, Σινάν Πασά Τζαμί/Sinan Pasa Tzami) occupies the walls of the great Saints-Pierre-et-Paul Catholic church (1359). Supported by buttresses, the building bears the traces of the 1570-1571 siege, but was immediately converted into a mosque, named in honor of the grand vizier Koca Sinan Pasha (1520-1596). Transformed into a warehouse during the British period, it lost the top of its minaret. It is now used as an exhibition space. Near the minbar, a fragment of a fresco depicting the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste remains.
