Car Rental at 'Nicosia - Downtown Center'

Travelers interested in the history of the Christian religion should never ignore the Byzantine Museum. Its main exhibits are 48 ancient icons that were brought here from all over the country. Not long ago, the museum's collection was replenished with 230 more icons of a later period. Most of them were created at the turn of the 18th-19th century. Besides the icons, you can see fragments of mosaics and frescoes that adorned ancient temples and were discovered over their ruins.

Turkish culture had a great influence on the modern culture of local residents. The Mevlevi Tekke Museum introduces visitors to its peculiarities. It keeps an interesting collection of ancient household items, as well as musical instruments and dervish clothes. Tombs of prominent dervishes can be found on an ancient cemetery located nearby. Now it is also available for visiting as part of the tour. In the Turkish part of the city, there is the interesting architectural complex Büyük Han, the construction of which took place in the second half of the 16th century. In the past, the large-scale building served as an inn, and at the end of the 19th century, the British colonialists converted it into a prison. Guests of Nicosia can delve deeper into the history of the building during the tour.
