Immigrate to Cyprus andvisit Cyprus: Nicosia is the largest city, serving as the political, cultural, and financial center of the country, and is the only divided capital in the world since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Nicosia has a long history, with human habitation traceable back to 3000 BC. It was once an important city-state known as "Ledra" more than 200 years before Christ. Since the end of the 10th century, Nicosia has been the capital of the island nation of Cyprus. The city's architecture features both Eastern styles and Western influences, clearly reflecting historical changes and the impact of both East and West.
Ledra Street in the old town is the most prosperous area in all of Nicosia, with its narrow alleys and winding paths resembling a labyrinth, making one feel as if they have returned to the medieval old city. This area is home to many traditional Cypriot handicrafts, gift shops, and tourist souvenir stores. In contrast, the new district extending from the old town presents a different scene: wide streets crisscrossed with constant traffic, a clean and bustling cityscape; the famous Cyprus Museum in the new district houses and displays various artifacts from the Neolithic period to the Roman era.
