History in Nicosia

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, holds centuries of history within its streets and surroundings. The places gathered on this page span a remarkable range of time: from the Bronze Age settlement of Enkomi to medieval monuments such as Bellapais Abbey and Buffavento Castle, and on to religious sites including the Church of Agios Lazaros and the Church of St. Nicholas of the Roof. The C1974 Memorial Ship marks a defining moment in modern Cypriot history, while the Armenian Genocide Monument and Antiphonitis draw attention to stories of loss and memory that reach beyond the island itself.
