Hala Sultan Tekke

We include Hala Sultan Tekke so that the religious history of Cyprus is not reduced to Orthodox monuments alone.

Ottoman period and contemporary religious life

The complex stands beside the salt lake and is associated with the veneration of Umm Haram.

It is especially important to remember that this is an active holy place: we choose modest clothing, speak quietly and check opening hours in advance.

At the site we focus on specific reference points: the tomb of Umm Haram, the mosque and minaret, the fountain and the salt lake.
