Lonely Planet review for Arab Mosque

This mosque is the only surviving place of worship built by the Genoese; it was the largest of the Latin churches in the city. Dating from 1337, it was converted to a mosque by Spanish Moors in the 16th century. It has an impressive stone exterior and wooden ceiling, a simple plan – long hall, tall square belfry-cum-minaret – and ornate flourishes such as the pretty porch and the galleries added in the 20th century.
