The Selimiye Mosque is the main mosque of Nicosia (Lefkoşa), in the middle of the walled city. It began as the Gothic cathedral of St Sophia, built under the Lusignan kings in the 13th and 14th centuries.
After the Ottoman conquest in 1570 it became a mosque, and two minarets were added to the cathedral's west front. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times; dress modestly.
