The guided walk in Nicosia offers an opportunity to explore the city’s stories and communities beyond its fortifications. Organised by the Home for Cooperation, the next English-language guided walk is scheduled for April 25, inviting participants to discover the historical layers of the old town, aptly named Beyond the Walls.
A Journey Through Time and Space
Set to commence at 10am from the Home for Cooperation, this two-hour exploration will be led by Mehmetcan Soyluoglu. The walk promises to take participants across the city’s checkpoints, revealing the interconnected tales and landscapes that illustrate the complexities of a divided city.
Reflecting on Historical Narratives
“Moving across the divide,” the organisers explain, “the walk reflects on how a historic city was shaped not only from within, but also through routes, memories and relationships extending across the island.” This perspective encourages a deeper understanding of how some connections have become central to public narratives, while others linger as quieter traces within the urban fabric.
Connecting Communities Through Exploration
The guided walk seeks to foster a sense of community and connection among participants, allowing them to engage with the diverse stories that have shaped Nicosia. As the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of cultures, with a rich history that invites exploration.
