Description

Τεισιά της Παλιάς Χώρας (Walls of Old Chora) is a unique historical monument in Cyprus, dating back to the 16th century from the period of Venetian rule. These ancient fortifications are one of the best-preserved examples of Renaissance fortifications in the eastern Mediterranean.

The walls are characterized by pentagonal bastions and three gates, each named after the nobleman who sponsored their construction. They were designed to maximally protect the city from cannon fire.

The walls offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making them a great destination for photography and history enthusiasts.
