SELIMIYE MOSQUE (St Sophia Cathedral)

Selimiye Mosque, Nicosia, Crypus
Right at the heart of the old city of North Nicosia is the Selimiye Camii (or mosque), housed in the former St Sophia Cathedral. There has been a religious building on this site since 1193, when a small church was built for the coronation of King Amaury in 1197. (You can still see marble from this original church incorporated in to the north doorway.) Life in modern North Nicosia centres around this building, so it’s a "must see" during your North Cyprus holiday adventure.
