Property for sale in Nicosia, Cyprus

Nicosia lies roughly at the centre of the island, with a rich history that can be traced back to the Bronze Age. It only became Capital of the Island in the 11th century AD.

Today it blends its historic past brilliantly with the bustle of a modern city. The heart of the city, enclosed by 16th century Venetian walls, is dotted with museums, ancient churches and medieval buildings preserving the nostalgic atmosphere of years past. The new Nicosia developed outside the walls became a contemporary, business and cultural center. Just a few miles away are enchanting places of interest such as Byzantine churches and monasteries, archaeological sites and charming villages.

The old walled city of Nicosia is unique, encircled by strong fortress walls built by the Venetians in the 16th century, the enchanting old city is scattered with buildings and monuments of historical interest as well as little shops, cafes and tavernas.

To walk through the old city is to step backwards in time. Narrow streets and old houses with ornate balconies jut from weather beaten sandstone walls, smell of jasmine flowers in those long sunner evenings, and craftsmen in small workshops practice trades unchanged for centuries.
