Nicosia

Nicosia, known locally as Lefkosia, is the capital and largest city of Cyprus since the 10th century and

is located at the center of the Island. Lefkosia is an important cultural and political centre. It has been

continuously inhabited for over 4500 years. “With its distinction as the only divided capital in the

world, Lefkosia (Nicosia) and its surrounding region combines the heartbeat of the island’s

commercial and businesses centre with an interesting past, and rural areas where escape is possible

in naturally beautiful, green environs. The capital itself is steeped in history and culture, with a

charming old city surrounded by massive Venetian walls, and the island’s largest concentration of

museums, art galleries and religious and historical monuments, that all tell wonderful stories of the

island through the ages” (CyprusTourism Organisation).
