During the siege of Famagusta, Ottoman hero Canbulat Bey reportedly charged his horse at a gruesome medieval siege device consisting of a spiked wheel. He destroyed the device, himself and his horse in the process but inspired the Ottomans to conquer the Venetian-held city.
His tomb contains a small museum with a simple collection of pottery and portraits featuring Lala Mustafa Paşa. There’s also a historical display detailing the Turkish take on the 1974 events, and the Old Town’s enclaves.
