Venetian Column

4.3(262 reviews)

About

On Cyprus, Venetian Column stands on Girne Cd in Lefkoşa 99010, in the centre of the capital. It is known as a historic monument that visitors come to see while walking the old city. A 4.3 out of 5 score has been recorded from 262 reviews, a substantial body of visitor feedback. First-time visitors should expect an open-air landmark rather than an indoor site with fixed visiting hours.

The column's setting in Lefkoşa places it among the streets of the walled city, where much of the historic fabric survives. Its 4.3 rating from 262 reviews reflects steady approval across a large number of visitors. Reaching it from the coastal resorts means a drive inland to Nicosia. Once in the centre, the column is easy to find on foot.

Nicosia has been divided since 1974, with a UN buffer zone running through it, making it the last divided capital in Europe. The column sits on the northern side. Visitors crossing between the two parts of the city should carry identification for the checkpoints.

The island is served by direct flights to Larnaca and Paphos, with the north reached through Turkish airports. Commandaria, a sweet wine made from sun-dried grapes, has been produced here for centuries. The Cyprus mouflon lives in the Troodos forests, and loggerhead and green turtles nest on protected beaches.
