Omeriye Mosque

Originally the Augustinian Church of St Mary, the Omeriye Mosque dates from the 14th century, with its tall minarets added after its conversion in 1571. This is a working mosque that serves Nicosia's diverse Arab and Asian Muslim population. Non-Muslims may visit as long as you observe the general etiquette required: dress conservatively, leave shoes at the door and avoid official prayer times.
