Limassol is one of the most popular tourist destinations of Cyprus: tourists call this place a city holiday and his love for noisy and fun carnivals and shows. In addition, the city has many attractions, historical, cultural and architectural monuments. For example, one of the largest mosques of Limassol Kebir Jami (sometimes called Jami Kebir) is considered a fine example of traditional Islamic architecture. It is located directly opposite the Limassol city fortress, just a few hundred meters North-West from it, and next to the mosque are the famous Turkish bath-Hamam.

The exact date of creation Kebir Jami unknown, but presumably it was built in the late XVI century. This ancient mosque, built of white stone, both inside and outside is striking in its elegant simplicity. Its small barred Windows let in enough light, but at the same time inside remains quite a mysterious atmosphere, and thick walls help to maintain a pleasant coolness even on the hottest days.

At the moment the Kebir mosque JAMA is valid, even though the Muslim community who are visiting it, is very small, and the mosque is often closed. Furthermore, it is officially closed to tourists, but with a strong desire there still can be accessed for a small donation for the maintenance of the temple open it for the most curious and persistent visitors. But we must not forget that when you enter you must take off your shoes, and women should cover their heads.
