This study deals with the architectural characteristics of the schools in Nicosia, built during the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. The Ottoman administration, though replaced by the British control, continued to exert its influence on the social life of the Muslim inhabitants. This new situation was not without an Ottoman accent. The degree of the gradual change in the school architecture, as influenced by the educational thoughts and architecture of the two countries, which imposed their styles on the Island, appears as a question. Apart from stylistic details, also the intra-mural urban development represented a unique character.The British city plan which was prepared by the Colonial Land Registration and Survey Department (CLRS) in 1927, was apparently revised later, but provides an important documentary source to help examine the problem. Intending to include the Muslim and Greek quarters within the city walls, the city plan was arranged as a portfolio, where buildings were shown as to note the original identifications.
