About Nicosia
Nicosia, the inland capital of Cyprus, is ringed by Venetian walls and split by a buffer zone that runs through its old town.
Nicosia, called Lefkosia in Greek, lies in the middle of Cyprus on the dry Mesaoria plain, ringed by round Venetian walls with eleven bastions built in the 1560s. The city has been divided since 1974, and a UN-patrolled buffer zone runs through the old town. Inside the walls, Laiki Geitonia is a restored quarter of lanes and craft shops, and the Cyprus Museum holds the island's largest archaeological collection.
