Defensive Street

I find this to be an interesting street corner near Paphos Gate, south of the buffer zone in the Greek Cypriot community. These former lines of defense during times of the armed struggle in Nicosia (between the intercommunal killings that begun in 1963 and the coup and invasion of 1974) are now used as display boards for graffiti.

Also notice the unintentional green roof on the abandoned building in the background.

Anarchist and anti-division graffiti placed above the barbed wire that is protecting what I believe to be a former guard post.

Below a gun port in a concrete barricade is a posting for a room for rent... Not the most attractive location for advertising in my opinion.
