Armenian Genocide Monument

Located in the Strovolos district of Nicosia, this monument commemorates the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide that occurred between 1915 and 1923. Travelers visit this site to reflect on this historical event and engage with the cultural heritage of the Armenian community in Cyprus.

Getting There

The monument is situated outside the historic city center. From the center of Nicosia, you can reach the site via taxi or local bus. The journey typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Because the monument is part of a smaller community complex, a visit usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. This allows enough time to view the memorial and the immediate surroundings.

When to Visit

The site is an outdoor installation, making it accessible throughout the year. To avoid the intense midday heat of the Cyprus summer, morning or late afternoon visits are recommended. The area does not typically experience heavy crowds, providing a quiet environment for reflection.
