Inauguration of the Statue of Freedom after 51 years
March 26, 2025
During the coup on July 15, 1974, the statue of Freedom in Nicosia was hit by bullets, symbolizing the violence of that period. Although its inauguration was planned, it was postponed due to the events. This year, 51 years later, the statue will finally be inaugurated alongside events commemorating the history of Cyprus. The bullet hole represents the open wound of Hellenism and the island's history.
