Nicosia, the capital of the Republic of Cyprus, is located in the central part of the island in the plain of Mesaoria and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. The ancient city has a history of nearly 5,000 years, marked by the ancient walls of the Venetian period, the city retains historical monuments such as the Great Mosque (formerly Hagia Sophia) and the Léonidan Gate, where East meets West. Nicosia is the world's only divided capital, the United Nations buffer zone divided into the South Cyprus-controlled area and North Nicosia (the area controlled by the Republic of Turkey), the unique "Green Line" has become a living fossil of the Cold War. As a Mediterranean transportation hub, Nicosia blends ancient charm with modern dynamism, with universities, museums and business districts, attracting visitors to explore its diverse charms.
