Conservation works on a mosque in Orunda, South Lefkoşa have been completed by the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, the committee announced on Wednesday.
The works were completed through a project funded by the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
According to the announcement, the mosque was built in various phases throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
Its complex consists of three buildings: the mosque, a secondary building, and the school building.
In December 2021, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage began its conservation works to preserve the monument.
These works included removal of vegetation, debris and waste materials, repair of masonry cracks, re-pointing of the stone masonry, reconstruction of the eroded sections, installation of a geo-grid reinforcement mesh on the adobe masonry, maintenance of the roof structure, as well as necessary interventions.
The conservation works ended in August 2022.
Since 2012, over 100 cultural heritage sites island-wide have been conserved, structurally supported, physically protected, or restored by the committee and UNDP, with the support from the EU and total funding of €24.915 million.
The committee has received approximately €33.662 million invested by several donors for the preservation of the island-wide cultural heritage of Cyprus.
