Hammam in Cyprus
Cyprus Hammam
The Hammam is a stone Omeriye project inspiration and sense of freedom and flexibility. In a region whose history dates from the 14th century, when it was erected as Augustinian church. In 1571, Mustapha Pasha converted the church into a mosque, believing that this particular spot was where the prophet Omer rested during his visit to Nicosia. Most of the original building was destroyed by Ottoman artillery, although the door of the main entrance still belongs to the building of the Franks of the 14th century. In 2003, the European Union funded the Community program and in cooperation with the Municipality of Nicosia, the restored Steam Omeriye to keep the historicity.
