PMR503-01 Cyprus (North), Gazimagusa/Famagusta: the former Gothic cathedral of St. Nicholas, completed between 1298 and 1326, is probably the best preserved Lusignan monument, although it lost its twin towers during the Ottoman bombardment. Later a minaret was added and it became the Lala Mustafa Pasa Camii (Mosque). Here: the east end apse with its buttresses, showing some fine carving. Keywords: Gazimagusa, church-mosque, architecture
