St. Nicholas Cathedral / Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Famagusta – Digitalization final meeting

Preserving heritage through digital innovation.

We were honoured to receive H.E. Clélia Chevrier Kolačko, French Ambassador to the Republic of Cyprus, at CYENS for a final meeting marking the completion phase of the digitalisation of St. Nicholas Cathedral / Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Famagusta.

Implemented by CYENS with the support of the French Embassy in Cyprus and UNDP Cyprus, this project reflects a strong commitment to safeguarding shared cultural heritage through advanced 3D modelling and digital documentation.

As the monument undergoes restoration, its digital twin ensures that history remains accessible for research, education, and future generations.

We are deeply grateful to the French Embassy for its trust and collaboration, and to all partners who contributed to bringing this meaningful project to completion.
