Establishing Eleftheria Square as the city’s primary gathering space, Zaha Hadid Architects’ (ZHA) design creates new connections intended to unite a divided capital. Nicosia’s massive Venetian fortifications separate the old city from its modern districts, while the city’s ‘Green Line’ divides the capital into two disparate communities.

At first, we faced a ruined 100-year-old building that only a few surrounding bearing brick walls and a basement was remained of it. Since the bearing walls had to be kept, we designed and used them in the same old shape.
