The Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Famagusta, Cyprus, was built between 1298 and around 1400 as the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas and consecrated as a Catholic cathedral in 1328. It is the largest medieval building in Famagusta. After the Ottoman capture of the city in 1571 it was converted into a mosque, which it remains, and since 1954 it has borne its present name, honouring the grand vizier Lala Mustafa Pasha.
