Davy Jones in Nicosia?

I made the extremely unscientific discovery the other day that a few of the capital carvings at the north entrance of the Bedestan, formerly St. Nicholas church, in the Turkish Cypriot community of Nicosia looks shockingly similar to Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

The Bedestan is an incredibly handsome former church building with phases dating from as far back as the 12th century. During the Ottoman period, the building was used as a covered market and sat in general disrepair until the United Nations Development Programme - Partnership for the Future (UNDP-PFF) decided to start renovating the building in 2004 into a monument of architectural significance and public gathering/presentation space.

In my short visit last week, it is a job well done. The building is absolutely beautiful and the restoration is well done because you are able to differentiate the old from the new easily and it creates a good presentation space with lots of light in a historic building. The Bedestan, immediately south of the Selimiye Mosque which is a highly popular neighborhood, also seems to be very well liked by its visitors and the local population as there were always people walking through it and taking photos of themselves inside and outside while I was there.
