TURKISH ARCHITECTURAL WORKS IN CYPRUS, FROM THE OTTOMAN PERIOD TO PRESENT

Abstract

The Ottoman Period in Cyprus (1571-1878) brought the island Turkish Architectural works in a variety of constructions such as religious, civilian, and military, and greatly contributed to the development of present day historical texture by leaving its mark. Mosques, being the major religious buildings, show resemblance with their contemporary architectural works in Anatolia. They were all constructed with local, hewn stone; mud-brick and timber were also widely used natural materials. Mosques and houses have survived to the present with their special functions. Although a satisfactory success has not been achieved in preservation, the traces of Turkish Architecture in Cyprus still survive with occasional maintenance, repairing, and restorations, to carry them to the future, whether they survive functioning or nonfunctioning.
