History:
Lefkosa (
Nicosia was probably built
on the site of the ancient
city kingdom of Ledra.
Lefkos, son of Ptolemy
Soter, rebuilt the city in
about 300 BC. His name
continous to be used by
Cypriots in the local name
for Nicosia, Lefkosa. After
the destruction of
Constantia (Salamis),
Nicosia grew to become an
important centre of
administration. In 1191
Richard the Lionheart sold
Cyprus. The city flourished
with the establishing of the
French royal court. Splendid
palaces and churches were
built alongside grand
houses.
