Teave

Kiired faktid: Nicosia Old City is the last divided capital in Europe, with a visible Green Line separating the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot sides. Its Venetian walls form a distinctive star shape, encircling a blend of medieval and modern life.

Esiletõstmised: The old city buzzes with life right alongside century-old structures, including the iconic Ledra Street crossing point where visitors can step between two cultures in minutes. The narrow winding streets hidden inside the walls offer vibrant markets, centuries-old churches, and Ottoman architecture bursting with character.
