Nicosia

Nicosia

Nicosia, otherwise called Lefkosia, is the separated capital city of Cyprus. South of the outskirt, on the Greek side, the Cyprus Museum has archeological finds from the Neolithic to Byzantine periods, including the Aphrodite of Soloi statue. Close by, the old city's sixteenth-century Venetian dividers incorporate the Famagusta, Kyrenia and Paphos doors. Inside the dividers, a marble catacomb sits beside the nineteenth-century Faneromeni Church.

Likewise, on the south side, the Cyprus Classic Motorcycle Museum has more than 150 motorbikes in its assortment, including twentieth-century great models. North of the city's outskirts, in the Turkish area, is the Armenian church and religious community, Notre Dame de Tire, accepted to have initially been worked in the thirteenth century as an abbey. Toward the east, the sixteenth-century Büyük Han is an Ottoman-period motel with an open yard currently brimming with skilled workers' shops and bistros. Close by, the Selimiye Mosque was at one time a Gothic house of prayer. Just toward the west, the Arab Ahmet Mosque was worked over the remaining parts of an old church.
