The Canbulat Tomb & Museum
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.
