The Omeriye Mosque is a mosque in the southern part of Nicosia, Cyprus. Before becoming a mosque, the building was the monastery church of the Augustinian Hermits, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Our records describe its architecture as Gothic. The mosque stands on Tillyria Square, beside the Omeriye Hamam of the same name, which was closed for a long period and, as of 2021, is operating again.
From Wikipedia
Ömeriye Mosque (Greek: Τέμενος Ομεριέ Temenos Omerié, Turkish: Ömeriye Camii), is a mosque in the walled city of Nicosia on the island of Cyprus, located in the south section of Nicosia. Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the mosque gained significance as one of the most important sites of Muslim worship in the non-Muslim section of the island and the city.
Currently the mosque is functioning and open for both worshippers and visitors.
