Title:
Cyprus / Italy: Map of the walls of Nicosia, from the book Viaggio da Venetia a Constantinopoli per Mare< / i> by Giacomo Franco (1550-1620),1597
Caption:
Nicosia is the largest city on the island of Cyprus and its capital, located near the centre of the Mesaoria plain on the banks of the Pedieos River. Its well-preserved walls mark it as a star fort, built by the Venetians in 1567 due to the fears of an Ottoman invasion, which occurred in 1570.
