PMR503-07 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: view of the facade with Judas tree flowers (Cercis siliquastrum). Keywords: Gazimagusa, architecture, church-mosque
