Walls

Here is a part of the old city walls of Nicosia. These walls were built by the Venetians, back when the Venetians were in vogue, I mean power. Most of the walls still look completely fine, actually, but I took a photo of the section that's crumbled. They've put up parks around the base of the wall. Apparently there used to be a moat down here. 

The buildings (apartments and a church) are from a neighborhood inside the old city walls down by the postal museum (it was closed, so I didn't take a look). 

I love the various colors of shutters that come up even on the shabbiest buildings. 

Also note the car parked on the definitely-not-EU-regulation-width sidewalk... this is a perfect example of how Cypriots will do anything to get their car parked in the shade...
