Lala Kara Mustafa Pascha
.jpg)
Lala Kara Mustafa Pascha oder auch Lala Mustafa Pascha (* um 1500; † 7. August 1580) war ein osmanischer General und, allerdings nur für kurze Zeit, Großwesir. Sein Ehrentitel Lala bedeutet „Tutor eines Prinzen“; ein Lala wurde einem Prinzen als Berater bei der Verwaltung seiner Provinz zugeteilt. Lala Mustafa Pascha war zuerst der Lala Prinz Bayezids, dann Prinz Selims, des späteren Sultan Selim II. Selims II.
Lala Mustafa war bis zum Beylerbey von Damaskus aufgestiegen und dann Fünfter Wesir geworden, ehe er 1565 die osmanischen Landtruppen bei der Belagerung von Malta befehligte und danach auch die Landtruppen, die 1570–71 das bis dahin venezianische Zypern eroberten.
Vom 28. April bis zum 7. August 1580 war er kurzzeitig Großwesir des Reiches (siehe Liste der Großwesire des Osmanischen Reiches). Mustafa war für seine Grausamkeit gegenüber besiegten Gegnern bekannt, wie seine Behandlung von Marcantonio Bragadin, dem venezianischen Verteidiger von Famagusta, anschaulich bewies.
Die Lala-Mustafa-Pascha-Moschee in Famagusta wurde nach ihm benannt.

The author of a Winters Pilgrimage, m speaking of Famagusta, expresses some fear as to the fate of the sea wall facing the harbour, in connection with a threatened act of vandalism on the part of the authorities in throwing down this wall in order that the stone and area thus formed may be used for purposes of the railway from Famagusta to Nicosia. I am glad to say no such act of unjustifiable vandalism has been committed, and I can reassure his readers on that point. Three openings have been made in this wall to give access to the quay wall of the harbour, which have in no way detracted from its appearance. In the construction of the railway no stoneof antiquarian interest was allowed to be disturbed in any way, and any stones removed from the wall by the harbour authorities to facilitate access by the trains bringing material for the construction of the harbour from the 58

The chief glory of Famagusta is the famous siege by the Turks from 1570 to 1571, about eleven months. Its defence by the Venetians was one of the most gallant recorded in history, and they finally succumbed, not to the battering of the Turk, but to hunger. The hero of the defence was Mark Antonio Bragadino; Mustafa was the Turkish general who conducted the siege, and he lies buried in a large tomb just outside the walls of Famagusta. Braogdino negotiated surrender on condition that the remaining defenders were to be given their lives and possessions, and safe conduct to Crete. After peace was signed, Bragadino, accompanied by his captains and bodyguard, unarmed, paid a visit to Mustafa in his tent, who received them courteously, and praised them for their gallant defence. Then, as they were retiring, Mustafa raised a question as to the Turkish prisoners taken during the 59 My Experiences of the I
