St Nicholas' Cathedral Description
(Local Name: Áyios Nikólas) In the heart of the old town of Famagusta stands the Gothic St Nicholas's Cathedral (14th century), now the Lala Mustafa Mosque. To the southwest of this are the remains of the Palazzo del Provveditore, once the residence of the Venetian Governor.

Since the Turkish invasion, there is no access whatsoever to Famagusta.

The town has been described by international observers as a "ghost-town," left untouched since the day locals were driven out by advancing Turkish troops.

The town is monitored by United Nations peace keepers and all access to Famagusta is prohibited.
