12. yüzyılda Bizans Kilisesi olarak inşa edilmiştir. Lüzinyalılar döneminde yapılan gotik eklemelerle Bedesten genişletilmiştir. Venedik dönemine gelindiğinde ise kilise Yunan Ortadoks Metropolisi’ne verilmiştir. Aziz Nikolas Kilisesi Osmanlı döneminde kapalı çarşı ve depo olarak kullanılmıştır. 1573 döneminde ismi “Bedesten” olarak değiştirilmiştir. Gotik mimarisinin güzel örneklerinden biri olan Bedesten kapısının üzerinde Orta Çağ asil ailelerine ait armaları görebilirsiniz. Yan yana iki kiliseden oluşan binaya yine aynı şekilde orta çağa ait mezar taşları bulunmaktadır. Ayanikola Kilisesi, Bedesten, St. Nicholas Kilisesi ve Aziz Nikolas Kilisesi de denilmektedir.

Wow, I was compleatly blown away, it is a pity that this fine "little" building is beeing overshadowed my its bigger and far younger and much less interesting neighbour "the st. Sofia".

The dervish performances that take place here are not a silly touristic attraction- the dancers and their teacher take it seriously and perform a wonderful show. Much recommended.

The Bedestan is preserved as an ancient monument. The masonry on its northern entrance resembles the masonry on the entrance of St Sophia Cathedral, and before restoration the interior had many fallen marble and granite columns, probably Roman. It is obvious even with a casual glance that the Bedestan was once a much larger church. It remains a mystery, however, why two such large churches were built so close together. Restoration of the Bedestan started in 2004, and the end result has been impressive. Where possible, existing structures have been repaired. That has not always been the case, and the roof of the western portion has been replaced with a modern timber structure. Although totally different in material, design and look, it somehow fits in and...

The preservation was so apt that if you are not conversant with it you will believe it is the same old building. It is only when you enter inside that you will see some traces of the original building materials purposefully left open. It is worth visiting. Location is City center of Nicosia...

Bizanslıların yaptığı, Luzinyan lılar, Venedik liler ve Osmanlı ların yaptığı ilavelerle hibrid mozaik bir mimari oluşmuştur. Diğer adıyla St. Nicolas Kilisesi, XIV.yy’da Gotik nizamda inşa edilmiş bir Bizans kilisesidir. Lüzinyanlar tarafından yapılan bazı Gotik eklemelerle genişletilmiştir, Venedik döneminde yapılan yeni değişiklerden sonra Yunan Ortodoks Metropolisine verilmiştir. Osmanlı hakimiyeti döneminde ise bazı değişiklikler yapılarak kapalı çarşı ve hububat deposu olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu dönemde (1573) yapının ismi Bedesten olarak değiştirilmiştir. Bedesten son dönemde Avrupa Birliği’nin mali katkılarıyla, UNDP-PFF tarafından restore edilerek kültür sanat maksatlı aktivitelerde kullanılmak üzere topluma yeniden...
