That’s just part of a monument honouring Greek Cypriots who fought against British rule – There are 17 statues on it. The jail gate has been pulled up allowing prisoners their freedom….
Thank You Aiva – the old town is full of houses that must have been very fine in their day..
I’m doing well – finally graduating into a shoe this week but still on crutches. Not walking much yet but will start building up from now on.. XXXMarie
It’s called the Liberty Monument. I only included part of it – above the gate stands two men pulling the chains to open up and release Greek Cypriot prisoners. There are no Turkish Cypriots being released – they were considered allies of the British during colonial times
Some lovely examples
Thank you Sheree – hints of former glory days mostly – it must have been a very fine city once upon a time…
Absolutely Marie
These are great! I’m curious about the moving sculpture of the people leaving what looks like a jail?

What a lot of doors you photographed in Nicosia! They brought back happy memories to me.
I was surprised I had so many – whenever I go looking for photos of doors I seem to find only windows! We really liked the old centre of Nicosia…
Beautiful collection of beautiful doors, Marie. I hope you are feeling much better xx

These are great doors. I love those large curved corner entrances, and the statues and the cats!
They LOVE their cats – I’ve never seen so many bowls of water on pathways!!!
This is a wonderful selection of doors. I would love to know more about the one with the statues emerging from a prison. Great photos!
