Nicosia a Review Through Time Nicosia A review through time Prologue The importance of being aware Nicosia is the city I grew up, the capital of Cyprus, the core of the division of the island and the location of my graduation project. The graduation project aims to intervene in the city of Nicosia and to propose - through the quali- ties architecture can provide - a solution to the major current problem of the division of the island. The purpose of this research is to analyse the location of the intervention - the city of Nicosia - and to create awareness about the developments and the current situation of the city today. The content of the research presents how the city of Nicosia changed through the centuries until today, focussing on the urban developments as well as the socio political developments that influ- ence and have influenced the transformations of the city until today. Therefore the research is divided in two parts, the first part is providing a basic geographical information about the location of Nicosia and the important characteristics for the inhabitation of the area. The second and most important part of the research is presenting in chronological order the transformations of the city, from ancient to recent times, focussing on the urban developments and the socio political changes that relate to these developments.

The Pedieos river starts from the mountain range of Troodos, pass through Nicosia and ends to the east coast, to the gulf of Famagusta. The riverbed of Pedieos becomes the core of the inhabitation of Nicosia since the first settlements. The river is named after the combination of the ancient Greek words “ιδείν” (idin) and “Εος” (eos) which mean looking at the dawn. The important geographical characteristics of Nicosia A view from mesaoria towards the mountain range of Pentadaktylos. Another important characteristic of the geography of Nicosiai s the flatness of the area (mesao- ria), that is encircled in the far ends by the two main mountain ranges of Cyprus (Pentadaktylos and Troodos). Mesaoria is a fertile ground that offers security and overview to the neighbouring areas and mountains Nicosia A review through time Chronological analysis of the urban and the socio political developments of Nicosia This chronological analysis focus on the city of Nicosia and more specifically how the “walled city” developed through time. The experience of the walled city today exists of traces from the past. In order to understand the urban and social development of the city today it is necessary to have knowledge of the socio political developments of the city from the past, that “formed” the current situation of the city today. This chapter provides a chronological analysis of the city from the ancient times until now, focussing on the socio political developments and their relation with how the city is being developed. Coat of arms of the rulers of Cyprus until its indipendance: Byzantine Empire, Lusignan Kingdom, Venetian Rule, Ottoman Empire, British Rule, Republic of Cyprus. 1050 B.C. - 330 A.C City kingdoms Based on Hellenistic scripts the area that is now called Nicosia was in the ancient times the terrain of the city kingdom of Ledra, one of the twelve city kingdoms of Cyprus. Due to its inland location Ledra was not as important as the coastal city kingdoms in the ancient history and this is one of the reasons that historians know so little about the developments of Ledra. What is assumed is that the first growth of the city kingdom of Ledra was on the southern part of Pediaios river. The capital of the island was Paphos until the 4th century A.C.. During the 4th century the capital changed from Paphos to Salamina that became the centre of the Apostolic Church during the first years of the Byzantine Empire. Lapithos Hitroi Soloi Ledra Salamina Marion Tamasos Idalion Kition Paphos Amathus Kourion Map with the ancient city kingdoms of Cyprus 395 B.C. - 1191 A.C Byzantine Empire During the Byzantine Empire the island is being raid by the Arabs. The coastal settlements become war zones and the safer inner area of Cyprus gets new attention. Around the 7th century the area of Ledra changes name to Lefkosia. The origin of this name probably comes from the word Lefko- theon - in Greek this is the combination of lefko (white) and theos (God) - or from the word Lefkon - in Greek this word is used for the lefka (populus) tree - which are both words that were used to describe the kingdom of Ledra. Around the 10th century Lefkosia becomes the capital of the island - until today - and the centre of the government and archbishopric. It is not clear where the Byzantine buildings and developments have been settled exactly but it is known that Lefkosia becomes a city of monasteries and churches, among others the church of Ayia Sophia which became later the important cathedral of the city.

The first Frankish king Guy de Lusignan arrives in Nicosia in 1192 to find a city without any diffen- sive structure nor any significant fortification. It was during this period that the city develops to a new fortification of the Lusignan Kingdom through which the river was diverted in order to flow through the town and provide the necessary water supply. Map of Cyprus from 1562 by Bertelli Ferrando 13th century Illustration of the probable position of the fortification of the city from the Lusignan kings. The illustration is made based on the later fortification of the city from the Venetians (dotted line). Historians and arhcaiologists are not sure about the exact location and shape of the fortifications of the Lusignan Kingdom that was finished in 13th century. The plan of a probable position and size of the fortification is made in comparison to the later Venetian walled city. According to testi- monials of that period the city is characterised by the wealthy gardens and springs and palaces. The Frankish king settled in the area of the former center of the Byzantine Empire at the western part of the city that is now enriched with gothic architecture. 13th century Third Lusignan Palace Western district Cathedral of Agia Sophia Main course of the river Eastern district Second Lusignan Palace First Lusignan Palace Divertion of the river through the city Gardens and springs From the descriptions of the city it is clear that it has been divided in two districts: the western district characterised by the inhabitation of the upper class of the Frankish rule and the eastern district that is inhabited by the natives. The church of Agia Sophia is during this period trans- formed into the cathedral of the city. 1489-1570 The Republic of Venice At the end of the 15th century the Republic of Venice took over Cyprus. During this period Nicosia develops into “citta ideale”, the “ideal city” with an efficient defensive structure. This ideal was the catalyst of the new development of the city, the “optimisation” of the city’s plan and fortifica- tion. The defensive necessities against the Ottoman raids were the reason for the demolition of many existing buildings and heritage from previous settlements, including buildings and fortifica- tions of the Byzantine Empire and the Frankish rule. The construction of the new fortifications were finished in 1567, three years before the raid from the Ottoman empire. Map of Cyprus from 1629 by Raigniauld.

For the follow- ing four centuries, the Cypriot monarchs were confronted with the power of the Near Eastern empires. This essay focuses on the relations between the Cypriot kings and the Near Eastern Great Kings from the eighth to the fourth century BC. To understand these relations, two theoretical concepts are applied: the centre-periphery model and the concept of suzerainty. From the central perspective of the Assyrian and Persian empires, Cyprus was situated on the western periphery. Therefore, the local governing traditions were respected by the Assyrian and Persian masters, as long as the petty kings fulfi lled their duties by paying tributes and providing military support when requested to do so. The personal relationship between the Cypriot kings and their masters can best be described as one of suzerainty, where the rulers submitted to a superior ruler, but still retained some autonomy. This relationship was far from being stable, which could lead to manifold mis- understandings between centre and periphery. In this essay, the ways in which suzerainty worked are discussed using several examples of the relations between Cypriot kings and their masters. Key words: Assyria, Persia, Cyprus, Cypriot kings. At the end of the fourth century BC, all the Cypriot kingdoms vanished during the wars of Alexander’s successors Ptolemy and Antigonus, who struggled for control of the is- land.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • The Jewish Presence in Cyprus Before Ad 70
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA * Vol. 7 Kraków 2009 Zdzisław J. Kapera THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN CYPRUS BEFORE AD 70 In the time of Sergius Paulus (Acts 13, 7), Cyprus was inhabited by indigenous Cypriots, Greeks (from Greece and Egypt), Phoenicians, some Romans (few in comparison with other groups), and a large community of Jews. What is surprising is the almost total absence of Greek (or Aramaic) synagogue inscriptions, especially since we know from the Acts of the Apostles and other sources that a substantial group of people of Jewish origin was living on the island.1 G. Hill2 and T. B. Mitford3 suggested some decades ago that the first Jews settled in Cyprus in the time of Ptolemy Philadelphus. According to the Talmudic sources, they were very probably obliged to supply wine annually for the services in the Jerusalem Temple.4 However, today we are able to date the first Jewish settlers as early as the fourth century BC. Found in ancient Kition were three Phoenician inscriptions with evidently Jewish names: Haggai, son of Azariah, and Asaphyahu.5 Commercial contacts are later confirmed by finds of Hasmonaean coins in Nea Paphos.6 The first epigraphical proof is provided by a Greek inscription from Kourion of a late Hellenistic date, where a Jew named Onias is mentioned.7 The next attestation of Jews, also of the late Hellenistic or early Roman period, comes from a text dealing with permanent habitation of Jews in Amathus. According to Mitford the text seems to concern “the construction in cedar wood of the doorway of a synagogue” in that city.8 If the Jews built a synagogue, they had a community there.

  • The History of Cyprus and Its Geostrategic Importance During the Cold War
    Revista de Estudos Internacionais (REI), ISSN 2236-4811, Vol. 8 (1), 2017 The history of Cyprus and its geostrategic importance during the Cold War A história de Chipre e sua importância geoestratégica durante a Guerra Fria Mauro Cid1 Escola de Comando e Estado Maior do Exército Instituto Meira Matos Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Militares Rio de Janeiro – Rio de Janeiro - Brasil Abstract: This article aims to analyse, from a historical-military context, the importance of Cyprus in the geopolitical world during the Cold War. Cyprus is a small island located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, to the south of Turkey and west of Syria and Lebanon. Due to its strategic position between three continents, it was occupied by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Romans in ancient times. During the Cold War, Cyprus was used as a support base for the actions of the great Occidental powers. The article is based on the author's experience, having worked as a Military Observer and Liaison Officer from September 2012 to July 2013 in Cyprus. It is also based on detailed literature reviews on this topic and official UN documents from the period. Key-words: Cyprus. Cold War. Geopolitics. Resumo: O objetivo do artigo é analisar, de um contexto histórico-militar, a importância do Chipre no mundo geopolítico durante a Guera Fria. Chipre é uma pequena ilha localizada no Mediterrâneo oriental, ao sul da Turquia e leste de Síria e Líbano. Por sua posição estratégica, entre três continentes ela foi ocupada por fenícios, egípcios, assírios, persas, gregos e romanos na Antiguidade.

  • Surveillance by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus
    Intelligence and National Security, 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02684527.2013.834216 ARTICLE Electronic Eyes on the Green Line: Surveillance by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus A. WALTER DORN* ABSTRACT The 1974 Cypriot War divided the island of Cyprus into two parts with a narrow demilitarized zone (DMZ) between the opposing Greek Cypriot and Turkish forces. The volatility and violence in this zone, called the ‘Green Line’, necessitated a constant UN peacekeeping presence that was achieved mainly with manned observation posts (OPs). About 150 of these posts were established by 1975 to maintain stability and prevent flare-ups, including any lethal exchanges between the two sides. By the early 1990s, many of the countries contributing peacekeepers to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) had become tired of the stalemate and the lack of progress in negotiations (peacemaking), so they withdrew their troops from the force. This necessitated a reduction in the number of constantly manned OPs from 51 in 1992 to 21 in mid-1993. Further downsizing of UNFICYP by the UN Security Council in 2004 gave rise to a new approach to monitor the DMZ and produce actionable intelligence. Cameras were installed in hot-spots in the Nicosia DMZ and more responsive patrols were introduced as part of the new ‘concentration with mobility’ concept. This was the first time a UN peace operation used unattended cameras to monitor a demilitarized zone. This article examines the UN’s difficulties and successes using the remote cameras, especially during important incidents. Other technologies that aided UNFICYP are also reviewed for lessons that might assist an under-equipped United Nations in its watchkeeping function.

  • Separation Barriers and Intercommunal Contact in Belfast and Nicosia*
    Infrastructures of Partition, Infrastructures of Juncture: Separation Barriers and Intercommunal Contact in Belfast and Nicosia* by Emily Bereskin (Technische Universität Berlin) Abstract Through an analysis of Belfast, Northern Ireland and Nicosia, Cyprus, this article considers how separation barriers catalyze social mixing and cooperation in ethnonationally divided cities. Due to their highly visible and symbolic nature as well as their physical location at the interface between communities, I argue that the barrier is a critical infrastructural element whose management and symbolic interpretation can motivate intercommunal cooperation – just as it can incite conflict. This article analyzes four socio-material interventions designed to ameliorate spatial and social divide: 1) the regeneration or aestheticization of barriers; 2) the negotiation of border openings; 3) the use of the border as a catalyst for intergroup activities; and 4) the creation of shared spaces at the boundary line. I discuss the possibilities and limitations of these practices both as confidence-building measures and as activities that foster social mixing. The article concludes by querying if barrier projects may inadvertently funnel funding away from more localized, single-community peacebuilding activities. Keywords: barrier, reconciliation, social mixing, Belfast, Nicosia Introduction tion. To varying degrees, social mixing occurs in This article focuses the discussion of infrastruc- the partitioned city just as it does anywhere else. ture and diversity on
