Nicosia Unmissables

Nicosia, the world's last divided capital, is defined by its 16th-century Venetian walls enclosing a circular old town. The city’s landscape features the Gothic Selimiye Mosque, once a medieval cathedral, and the Ottoman-era Büyük Han caravanserai. Archaeological history is preserved in the Cyprus Museum, while the Shacolas Tower provides views across the UN Buffer Zone. From the Byzantine frescoes of St. John’s Cathedral to traditional Turkish baths and the restored quarters of Laiki Geitonia, the city showcases centuries of intersecting cultures.
