Archaelogical Digs Delay Moat Reconstruction
The heart of Nicosia - Eleftheria Square - is currently being excavated by archaeologists, which has resulted in long delays in a planned reconstruction of the Nicosia moat, said Mayor Eleni Mavrou.
The amended reconstruction plans of the Square provide for the moat to be extended up to Solomou Square, and for the planting of more trees in the area, while venues for holding events and activities will be created. Reconstruction plans will help Eleftheria Square to become an environmentally friendly place, she said in comments to Cyprus News Agency (CNA).
Archeological excavations have resulted in long delays in the implementation of the project, said Mavrou, adding that the aim of the Municipality is to complete and deliver the biggest part of the project before Cyprus takes over the EU rotating presidency in 2012.
