Rute
The tomb of Canbulat, commander in the Ottoman siege of Famagusta in the 16th century and an essential cause for the city's victorious capture, is housed at the Canbulat Museum in Famagusta. You will be able to learn about the Ottoman war and see wonderful objects from that historical period. Furthermore, this is the second most important tomb in Cyprus and a famous religious destination for many Turks.
The Church of St. George of the Greeks, erected in 1360, is said to have served as the seat of Famagusta's Orthodox bishopric throughout the Middle Ages. The ruins of a rare sort of Orthodox church that was once a great cathedral are no less impressive in their current state.
It is Famagusta's largest Middle Ages structure. Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque was originally dedicated as a Catholic Cathedral before being turned into a mosque after the Ottoman Empire seized Famagusta in 1571, and it still stands as a mosque today.
The Walled City of Famagusta, founded in the third century B.C. and positioned among the crowded shipping routes of the eastern Mediterranean, is a worldwide cultural heritage site that has survived a diverse, at times chaotic past. You may enjoy the charming alleyways lined with various cafés, historical buildings, ceremonial churches, and gorgeous Ottoman period mosques.
The origins of Famagusta Castle are Lusignan. The castle is not massive, but it does have an outstanding Great Hall with a vaulted ceiling and an appealing central courtyard. The panoramic views of the city alone are worth the visit.

About Famagusta
Famagusta, on Cyprus's east coast, is a walled port with Venetian ramparts, a Gothic cathedral turned mosque and the ruins of ancient Salamis nearby.
Famagusta, known in Turkish as Gazimağusa, lies on the east coast of Cyprus, with the island's deepest harbour. Ptolemy II founded a settlement here in the third century BC, and it grew into a rich port under the Lusignan kings, who ruled from 1192, and then under Genoa and Venice. Ramparts built mostly by the Venetians in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries enclose the old city.
