Northern Nicosia, unidentified church (Yeni Cami)
This was formerly a medieval church (name unknown, probably 14th century). It was converted into a mosque in 1571, when the Ottomans
conquered Cyprus, but was destroyed in the 18th century. The only part which was spared was the south-west corner on which a minaret was
erected. Afterwards, about 20 meters from the old minaret, the new mosque was built. Source: "The Old Town of Nicosia", published by
