SINAN PASA MOSQUE
(St. Peter & St. Paul Church)
A Syrian merchant named Simone Nostrano was the
constructor of this church , that is after
conquering the island the Ottomans started to use
the church as a mosque. . the church had been built
by a Nestorian Christian named Simon.
It has
survived the 1571 bombardment because of its strong
structure. The North entrance with its unequalled
masonry is thought to have been transferred from
another place. The interior of the building is quite
plain; the ceiling resting on pillars with a flat
capital.
