A visit to Ledra Street in Nicosia, Cyprus

A visit to Ledra Street a major shopping thoroughfare in central Nicosia, Cyprus.
Omonia Youth players found it educational.

It is the site of the former Ledra Street barricade, across the United Nations buffer zone. The barricade symbolised the division of Nicosia between the Greek south and Turkish occupied north. It was removed in April 2008 and Ledra Street became the sixth crossing between the southern and northern parts of Cyprus.

The name of the street refers to the ancient city-kingdom of Ledra, established in 1050 BC, that was located in the centre of the island where the capital city is today.
