Disagreements over tower construction near the Famagusta Gate
February 20, 2025
The Department of Antiquities opposes the construction of a 36-story tower near the Famagusta Gate, suggesting a reduction to 25 stories. They argue that buildings should not exceed 8 stories due to their proximity to ancient monuments. The Association of Cypriot Archaeologists also expressed disagreement with this plan. The company presented alternative proposals, such as constructing 8-story residential buildings if the tower is not approved.
