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.
