Nicosia, the capital is the island’s largest city. It is the administrative, commercial, cultural, educational and religious centre of our country, and is also geographically at the centre of the island. Nicosia is the last divided capital city in Europe.
The city’s origins date back to the Chalcolithic Age. From antiquity and until the first centuries AD, it was known as Ledra. The historical Old Town lies within massive 16th century Venetian Walls, and is home to important museums, Byzantine churches, medieval and neoclassical buildings, all standing along picturesque narrow roads that traverse the town’s fascinating old quarters.
The city is a trade centre and manufactures textiles, leather, pottery, plastic, and other products. Copper mines are nearby. Nicosia is the seat of the University of Cyprus (UCY) and four other universities.
