This was originally a church built in 1359 with funds donated by a successful merchant called Simon Nostrano during the reign of Pierre I. In 1571 it was restored and converted into a mosque by the Ottoman Turks and was named after Sinan Pasha. During the British Period it was used as a grain and potato store and, later as a junkstore. As a result of this it has also been known and called as the 'Wheat Mosque'. In 1964 it was restored and used as a "Town Hall" by the Turkish Cypriots. The building is now used as a public library by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
