Liberty Monument

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:28:48

Near the mosque on the Podocataro Bastion is this thought-provoking monument. It represents the Greek Cypriots’ liberation from the British colonial powers, with the figures of 14 Ethniki Organosi tou Kypriakou Agona (EOKA; National Organisation for the Cypriot Struggle) fighters being released from prison in 1959, alongside peasants and priests, representing the various strata of Greek Cypriot society.
