Nicosia cathedral/mosque

Nicosia's old Gothic Lusignan-built cathedral (used for crownings of medieval Frankish Cypriot kings, efter their crownings as titular kings of Jerusalem in Famagusta) was made into a mosque in Ottoman times. It was difficult to get an outside view of it in the crowded streets, and it was less impressive than it's Famagusta counterpart, but still quite nice.
