Limassol Arnavut Mosque

Limassol Arnavut Mosque, the mosque is located in Southern Cyprus, at the corner of the intersection of the old mosque and Yıldız streets. It is estimated that it was built on an old mosque in 1900.
Adjacent to the east of the mosque from 1964 to 1974
While the graves of 26 people who were martyred in the Limassol battles in their history are located, the Limassol Martyrs' Monument was erected here on 13.2.1967.
Bodamyalızade, who built a school with his own money and donated it to the people of Limassol, has a fez-headed tombstone in front of the entrance door of the mosque.
It belongs to Hakki Efendi.
Although the tombstone was in the old Turkish cemetery until 1960, it was moved to the Arnavut Mosque by the imam of the Arnavut Mosque, Hüseyin Cümbezli, after the cemetery was disbanded for various reasons.
