A bold tribute to the Last Divided Capital on the Green Line of the Mediterranean where Nicosia, known in Greek as Lefkosia and in Turkish as Lefkosa, holds the distinction of being the last divided capital city in the world, split since 1974 by the UN Buffer Zone known as the Green Line into the Greek Cypriot south and the Turkish Cypriot north following the Turkish military intervention that ended a period of intercommunal violence between the island's two communities, where the old city's magnificent Venetian walls, a masterpiece of 16th-century military engineering with their distinctive heart-shaped bastions, encircle a historic centre where Byzantine churches converted to mosques, Gothic cathedrals, and Ottoman hans stand as physical evidence of the successive layers of Lusignan, Venetian, Ottoman, and British colonial rule that have shaped this ancient city, and where the gradual opening of crossing points along the Green Line since 2003 has allowed Cypriots from both communities to begin the slow process of reacquaintance and reconciliation.
