Nowadays a mosque the St. Nicholas Cathedral was built in 1298 by the de Lusignans. It is undoubtedly one of the most impressive and best preserved churches in Cyprus. Several Kings of Cyprus (and Jerusalem) were crowned in this church. When the Ottomans conquered the town from the Venetians in 1571, the cathedral was transformed into a mosque, equipped with a minaret and an offering table, and renamed Lala Mustafa Pasa Cami.
