Ağrotur and Dikelia Mosque Carpet
Akrotura and Dhekelia are known as the British bases of the island of Cyprus. Mosques in these regions are used especially by military personnel and their families. Mosque carpets are usually imported from England. Ağrotur and Dikelia mosque carpets are generally simple and modern in style. Patterns are minimal and colors are generally neutral tones. However, elements of Islamic art and architecture can be used on some carpets. Most of the rugs are made of soft and quality materials. On the island of Cyprus in general, mosque carpets developed under the influence of the Ottoman Empire. However, British bases such as Acrotur and Dhekelia have mosque rugs in a more modern and minimalist style.
