Walking The Divide: Nicosia, The World’s Last Divided Capital
NICOSIA, CYPRUS – OCTOBER 21: A graffiti featuring a crescent moon and star, symbols often associated with the Turkish national flag, is seen on a wall near the crossing between the Republic of Cyprus–controlled south and the northern part of Nicosia, administered by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), recognised only by Turkey, on October 21, 2025. The island has remained divided by a United Nations-controlled Buffer Zone since 1974. (Photo by STR/NurPhoto)
