Cyprus Railway Museum at Evrychou
We include the former station so that the British period can be seen not only through politics but also through everyday movement around the island.
Routes
The twentieth century: infrastructure, struggle, division and memory
This route connects the railway, museums, places of anti-colonial struggle, the Green Line and sites of contemporary memory.
Question for the route
How can we distinguish a document, a museum interpretation, a monument and a personal memory?
Stops on this route
The doors of old Nicosia
We turned a walk through old Nicosia into a family game by looking for construction dates woven into the metalwork above the doors.
Museum of the National Struggle
We include the museum as the principal place for learning about the anti-colonial struggle of Greek Cypriots against British rule.
Fylakismena Mnimata — the Imprisoned Graves
We include the prison complex as one of the most powerful places of memory connected with the anti-colonial struggle.
The hideout of Grigoris Afxentiou near Machairas
We include the site near Machairas so that one mountain route connects monastic history with the twentieth century.
The Barn at Liopetri
We include the barn as a specific rural memorial to the armed phase of the anti-colonial struggle.
Ledra Street, the Green Line and divided Nicosia
We include a walking route so that the island’s division can be seen not only on a map.
Cultural Centre of Occupied Famagusta at Deryneia
We include Deryneia as a family stop where it is possible to discuss displacement, the closed district of Varosha and the memory of a lost city with care.
