Haydar Pasha Mosque (Greek: Χαϊντάρ-πασά τζαμί Chaintár-pasa Tzamí, Turkish: Haydarpaşa Camii), formerly St. Catherine's Church, is a historic mosque in North Nicosia. It is the most important Gothic building in Nicosia after Ayia Sophia, formerly the Frankish (Latin) cathedral of Nicosia.[1] It has been described by Harry Charles Luke as representing one of the finest examples of Gothic building on the island.
