Lefkoşa (North Nicosia)

Architectural, Cultural sights in Lefkoşa (North Nicosia)

  1. Kumarcılar Han

    Just to the north of the Büyük Han, on Agah Efendi Sokak, is the Kumarcılar Han, a late-17th-century caravanserai, which worked in a similar way to the Büyük Han. It was closed for reconstruction at the time of research. Rumour has it that once it's been renovated, the building might once again become a place for gamblers. This would be no surprise considering the casino epidemic currently sweeping the North.
