Bayraktar Mosque

Located next to OCHI Market, this Ottoman mosque is built on the western end of Constanza Bastion, in honour of the flag carrier who first climbed on to the walls of Lefkosia (Nicosia) during the siege of the city by the Ottoman troops in 1570.

Its name derives from the Turkish word ‘bayrak’, meaning ‘flag’ or ‘military trophy’, with the flag carrier’s grave built on the spot later in 1764. The mosque itself dates back to 1820, and was restored and opened for worship in late 2003.
