Nicosia, Capital of the Republic of Cyprus

Ömeriye Hamam, Nicosia

The Ömeriye Hamam, a 14th-century building restored to operate once again as a hammam (Turkish bath). In the 14th century, the time of Frankish and Venetian rule, it was the Augustinian church of St. Mary, stone-built, with small domes. In 1571, Mustapha Pasha converted the church into a mosque. Most of the original building was destroyed by Ottoman artillery. However, the door of the main entrance still belongs to the 14th century Lusignan building, and remains of a later Renaissance phase can be seen at the north-eastern side.
