大商隊旅館(The Buyuk Han)是塞浦路斯最大的,保存最完整的奧圖曼商隊建築。由奧圖曼帝國於1572年建造,他們從威尼斯人手中佔領了塞浦路斯。
在開放式庭院的中心是一座清真寺,內有噴泉供禱告前洗禮。一樓的陽台最初是旅館的就寢區。
北塞浦路斯(北塞浦路斯土耳其共和國)是事實上的一個國度,包括塞浦路斯島的東北部分。1974年由土耳其入侵建立,僅得到土耳其認可。
聯合國控制下的緩衝區位於北塞浦路斯和該島的其餘部分之間,並將最大的城市和雙方首都尼高西亞分割為二。
The Buyuk Han (The Great Inn) is Cyprus’ largest and best-preserved example of Ottoman caravanserai architecture. Built by the Ottomans in 1572, the year after they had seized Cyprus from the Venetians.
In the centre of the open courtyard is a mosque with a fountain for pre-prayer ablutions. The first floor balcony was originally served as the inn’s sleeping areas.
Northern Cyprus (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), is a de facto state that comprises the northeastern portion of the island of Cyprus. Established in 1974 by the Turkish invasion and recognised only by Turkey.
A buffer zone under the control of the United Nations stretches between Northern Cyprus and the rest of the island and divides Nicosia, the island’s largest city and capital of both sides.
