Tabakhane is a historic neighborhood, quarter, Mahalla, or parish of central Nicosia, Cyprus,〔〔Coexistence in the Disappeared Mixed Neighborhoods of Nicosia by Ahmet, A (Paper read at the conference: Nicosia: The Last Divided Capital in Europe, organized by the London Metropolitan University on 20th June 2011)〕〔6th edition of the publication “Statistical Codes of Municipalities, Communities and Quarters of Cyprus” (publ. Statistical Service of Republic of Cyprus)〕 named after the tannery which formerly existed just outside the city walls, near Paphos Gate.〔 Its name is the Arabic and Turkish word for tannery. At the last census, conducted in 2011, Tabakhane had a population of 299, a sizable increase from its population of 204 in 2001. The neighborhood covers nine streets in the south-centre of Nicosia, forming a compact area just west of Ledra Street. It stretches around Germanou Patron Street (formerly Usta Kadi), from its junction with Rigenis Street to that with Alexander the Great Street. The junction at Arsinoe Street is its centre.〔Municipality/Community, Quarter and Street Index published by Ministry of Information (CILIS_streets_022011)〕 According to the survey reported by George Jeffery (government architect) 〔A Description of the Historic Monuments of Cyprus" by George Jeffery,Architect .Publ. Government Printing Office, Nicosia, 1918. In particular, p.32, section on "Twenty Five Quarters of the City"〕 Tabakhane formerly extended as far west as Paphos Gate and was therefore close to the old site of the Tannery, which is now occupied by the Municipal Garden. But in 1912 the Quarter was reduced to its present bounds.〔Cyprus Gazette, 6 Dec 1912, No. 11541〕 == Tabakhane Mesjid == Tabakhane Mesjid, the mosque for the neighbourhood (currently closed), is located in Arsinoes Street just east of its intersection with Pericles Street (formerly Kalkancı Street).〔Map of Nicosia, publ by Stanfords, Longacre, London; date 1912〕 The tanners originally had two mosques; one at the tannery — where there was also a shrine to their patron divine, analogous to the patron saint of a guild or occupation in the West — and one in the residential area, namely Tabakhane Mesjid.〔”Labour, Society and Politics in Cyprus during the Second Half of the 19th Century”, by P.
