Cathederal of St. Sophia
Address: Nicosia, Lefkosa
Built by the Lusignans between 1208 and 1326, Selimiye is accepted to be the most important example of Gothic architecture in Cyprus.
The momumental main door and the carved stone window abve it are spectacular works of gothic art.
After the ottoman conquest of Nicosia in 1570, a minaret was added to the cathedral and thus it was transformed into hagia Sophia Mosque, which was renamed in 1954 as Selimiye Mosque.
