In 1969 “Varosha” residential area is pronounced for an architectural and historic reserve.
The 14-meters monument is erected on 27 May 1965 in “Varosha” residential area, next to Hisarya fortress.
The residential area is in a proximity to the center of the town, which is on the other side of Osam river, connected with a monumental pedestrian bridge.
The 35,000 people who fled Varosha in August 1974 were a substantial portion of the total number of Greek Cypriots displaced during the tragic events of that summer.
It might seem perverse that the international community insists that Varosha, as a fenced-off area with no settlement, retains its special status, but the fact that it is a closed area keeps alive the hope that, one day, its original inhabitants might return.
The proposals envisage the resettlement of Varosha as an area for bi-communal contacts and enterprise and the reopening of Nicosia international airport.
