Eleftheria Square

Nicosia, Cyprus Park

Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. A very busy in the heart of Nicosia, which is very popular with the locals young and old. There is a small playground, fountains a lot of benches for taking a rest. During the evening it has got music on at the bar and the fountains lit up. Nice and modern, looks like recently reconstructed that looks very, very nice. In the evenings it is crowded with people who are taking a relaxing break and enjoying the sunset as the place is getting some chill air. Pretty cool design, to be honest, right in the middle of the city. Lots of open spaces, to walk or take a bike, to get a cup of coffee The square, on its own, is very unique and futuristic, but personally, I feel like it is very out of place in Nicosia, like it doesn't really fit in with the city's general and spirit. My main fault, though, is that it is so open and bare. In the scorching heat of the Cypriot Sun, you have a large city with few to no trees. Honestly, I feel like any sort of flora would've been welcome to alleviate some of the brutal heat. Needs a bit of a clean and is slightly run down but I loved it I loved to have experienced zaha hadids in Nicosia so close to home !! It is the second time we come to visit Nicosia by public transport (intercity bus) from Larnaca. The head of the line in Nicosia is the Eleftheria market. The area was set up quite futuristically, ornaments, fountains with lights, Christmas lights. Public toilets are also available but in a rather poor condition. In the Eleftheria market area, you have the impression that you are teleported to another geographical area, rather Asia. An explanation would be the abundance of "tourists" who haunt near the border with the Turkish side of the island. Eleftheria in Nicosia is not just a public space—it’s a conversation between past and future, structure and void, city and citizen. Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, this ambitious project has stirred both admiration and debate, but one thing is certain: it leaves no one indifferent. Set against the backdrop of the medieval Venetian walls, the is a sculptural intervention that redefines the city’s center. Flowing concrete forms rise from the ground like ribbons, guiding movement organically while carving out minimalist seating, water features, and green zones. The design isn’t trying to blend in—it’s making a statement. And for lovers of contemporary architecture, it’s a must-see. Designers will appreciate the way Hadid’s signature fluidity is adapted here to an urban scale. There’s a cinematic rhythm to the space—everything unfolds gradually as you walk through it. The layering of levels, the interplay of light and shadow, the contrast between raw concrete and the organic geometry—it’s a masterclass in spatial choreography. Is it perfect? No. The heat in summer can be intense due to the expansive surfaces, and some locals still question its stark modernity. But for architects and designers, it’s a rare opportunity to experience Hadid’s urban vision in a setting charged with historical weight. Whether you come to sketch, photograph, or simply reflect on the evolution of civic space, Eleftheria offers an experience that’s as much intellectual as it is visual. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about design and public architecture. A nice place to walk for a bit and for kids to run around, and play at the playground. Famous Zaha Hadid’s in the center of Nicosia. A quiet place in the heart of the city. A visionary architecture, en event space and a place to spend time walking around the town. Overall, it’s a nice place, but the behavior of the guards really needs improvement. Either better training or hiring more professional personnel would make a difference. There seems to be no shortage of incidents with them. For example, in one situation, a guard was pacing in frustration, insisting that people leave the stairs and choose to go either up or down. Unfortunately, Ive missed the exact moment he was scolding them. It’s worth noting, this is a free country. Such a beautiful to admire, we stayed here for a break to get some shed from the hot afternoon summer sun. If you’re in Nicosia don’t miss this place The truth is that it looks very nice, especially the lower part, but put something up there to provide shade because even though there are benches to sit on, with 40 degrees Celsius and the heat that Nicosia has in the summer, no one would think of sitting on those benches unless they wanted to get sunstroke. Beautiful open space. Balance of modern, nature, and old aspects from the old town of Nicosia. Perfect to walk around a few times. Or just go down there if u walking by anyway. There are cafe's down there if u'd like to enjoy the views :) The safest place in the centre of Nicosia. Security keeps the place secure 24/7 for the people. Inside the rain the cold the hot weather of Nicosia. All the illegal activity and people try to make their own rules and try to make problems already have problems with the law. Security officers are always available 27/7. The people they try to put Mud in the security of the eleutheria are most the ones that have had problems in the past and have Court. People that put photos of security are illegal too. Can't can put it's personal data. For the safety of the person.
