Haydarpaşa Mosque, originally the 14th-century Gothic Church of St. Catherine, is one of the finest examples of Lusignan Gothic architecture in Nicosia. The beautifully proportioned church features flying buttresses, ornate window tracery, and Gothic arches. Converted to a mosque in 1570, it now serves as an art gallery and cultural venue while retaining its striking medieval architecture.
