Canbulat Tomb & Museums
Canbulat, the Bey (a provincial governor in the Ottoman empire)
of Kilis, was included in the Ottoman forces that were going
to conquer Cyprus. As he was extremely successful during the
capture of Nicosia, he was appointed to the Ottoman army laying
siege to Famagusta along with Iskender Pasha and Deniz Pasha.
As he is believed to have been killed in the vicinity of the
Arsenal Bastion his tomb is under this bastion. The building
was restored in 1968 and the front section was turned into an
etnographic and archaelogical museum.
