Podocatoro Bastion Moat

Podocatoro Bastion Moat is a fascinating feature of the historic Venetian Walls of Nicosia, built between 1567 and 1570 as a defense against the Ottoman Empire. Today, the dry moat surrounding the walls has been creatively adapted into a modern recreational space.

The area offers sports fields, exhibition spaces and sculpture displays, combining historic architecture with modern features. Podocatoro Bastion, also known as Bastion D'Avilla, is home to the Statue of Liberty and is an important landmark on Nicosia's cultural map.

It is an ideal place for lovers of history, Renaissance architecture and anyone who appreciates the combination of past and present.
