The Selimiye Mosque (Turkish Lefkoşa Selimiye Camii, Greek Τέμενος Σελιμιγιέ Λευκωσίας Témenos Selimigié Lefkosías), formerly St. Sophia Cathedral, is a mosque in the Cypriot city of Nicosia and the former Christian cathedral of the city. It is located in the northern half of the old town, just 100 meters north of the "Green Line" that separates Northern Cyprus from the Republic of Cyprus. You can also enter, but please take off your shoes beforehand.
