Grand Mosque
Standing alone on the periphery of both the former Greek and Turkish quarters of Larnaka is the Grand Mosque. Somewhat underused since 1974, the mosque is nonetheless the spiritual home to Larnaka's Muslim community. Built in the 16th century and once called the Latin Holy Cross Church, the current building is the result of 19th-century restoration.
The mosque reluctantly accepts visitors, though not during prayer times, and you may also be able to climb the minaret for a small fee. The views are quite impressive.
