Nicosia, Capital of the Republic of Cyprus

Liberty Monument, Nicosia

The “Eleftheria” (Liberty) Monument, erected in 1973 to honour the anti-British EOKA fighters of the Cyprus Emergency of 1955–1959 at the Podocattaro Bastion of the Venetian walls. The massive monument contains several statues. Atop the structure, a sculpture representing Liberty watches over two heroic EOKA fighters pulling chains to open a prison gate, allowing Greek Cypriot prisoners, peasants, and clergy (represented by various statues) to escape British rule.
