Much Loved, Much Restored: The Arabahmet Mosque in North Nicosia

The 18th century building was first restored in 1845 and extensively restored in the 1990s, and inside has the distinctive modest interior decorated with carpets on the floor and a green pulpit. The carpets in fact hide a building secret; large tombstone slabs from the graves of Frankish knights have been reused in the floor from the church that originally stood on this site. The slabs include a tombstone for Louis de Nores, dated 1369.
