In another thread on C44 (started about a new restaurant in Alsancak, but ending with posts about keystones...) I mentioned some well known keystones in medieval TRNC monuments. But..., where in TRNC do you find the most famous keystone of all..?

OK, a hint: "It was originally the Royal Palace of a famous Frankish family, built in the 13th century, but much changed by their successors in Cyprus..."
