At the centre of Old Nicosia lays Missirikos Church, a Medieval Christian Orthodox built in 1500 with byzantine gothic and Italian Renaissance architectural elements. It was converted into the Araplar Mosque in 1572. The Omerie Mosque was originally an Augustinian church run by monks and was dedicated to the Holy Mary. It was built in the 14th century and was converted into a mosque by Mustafa Pasa in 1571. Next to this are the The Omerie Baths that were built during the 16th century as a gift to the city of Nicosia by Lala Moustafa Pasa.

Next to the Constanza Bastion is the Bayraktari Mosque, where a Turkish soldier laid to rest the remains of Ottomans that fell during the city’s siege in 1571.
