Nicosia

The green line that splits Cyprus into north and south also splits Nicosia, which was described to me by several residents as the “last divided capital in the world” now that Berlin is united. Even though the country is still split, it’s been relatively easy to cross between the two sections since 2003.

The top photos are from the northern section of Nicosia; the ones below the UN buffer zone photo are from the southern section of the city.
