La piazza principale di Nicosia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Tanto tempo fa, le mura Veneziane di Nicosia erano circondate da un fossato, riempito dall'acqua del fiume Pedieos. Le mura, a forma di cerchio con 11 bastioni, proteggevano l'antica citt\u00e0, alla quale si poteva accedere solo attraverso pochi punti di ingresso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oggi il fossato \u00e8 prosciugato e la citt\u00e0 si \u00e8 espansa ben oltre le sue mura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tra la citt\u00e0 vecchia e quella nuova, proprio alla fine della principale via dello shopping, Piazza Eleftheria rappresenta un ponte tra passato e presente.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVista su piazza Eleftheria<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Non \u00e8 solo una piazza, ma uno spazio urbano a pi\u00f9 livelli. La parte superiore \u00e8 una piazza scoperta, mentre la parte inferiore, dove si trovava l'antico fossato, si sviluppa verso est, costeggiando il bastione D'Avila. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passeggiando nella parte bassa della piazza si possono ammirare le bellissime mura veneziane, spesso ignorate dai nicosiani nella loro vita quotidiana. Ci sono fontane, alberi, panchine, giardinetti, un piccolo anfiteatro, diversi spazi di ritrovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il dibattito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
La piazza ha un aspetto futuristico che contrasta con le antiche mura e l'aspetto storico della citt\u00e0 vecchia.\u00a0\nDi notte, anche grazie alle luci colorate, sembra che un'astronave sia atterrata proprio nel centro della capitale, fondendosi con i principali simboli della citt\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Piazza Eleftheria \u00e8 stata progettata dallo studio della defunta archistar Zaha Hadid, a seguito di un concorso internazionale indetto nel 2005. Il progetto \u00e8 stato cofinanziato da Fondi strutturali e di investimento europei, dalla Repubblica di Cipro e dal Comune di Nicosia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
L'inaugurazione \u00e8 avvenuta solo nel 2021, dopo molti anni di lavori e alcuni ritardi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diversi cittadini si sono lamentati dell'aspetto estremamente moderno della piazza. Sostengono che non rappresenti la vera Cipro. Tuttavia, lo stesso aspetto moderno e sterile si pu\u00f2 notare negli hotel del distretto di Famagusta e, soprattutto, nello skyline di Limassol, sempre pi\u00f9 ricco di grattacieli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L'isola cerca di modernizzarsi, dimenticando talvolta il suo passato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Lo spazio pubblico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Da quando \u00e8 stata inaugurata, piazza Eleftheria ha ospitato numerosi eventi come festival, concerti, fiere del libro, serate di cinema all'aperto, raduni, ecc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c8 anche il punto di partenza e di arrivo di varie manifestazioni per promuovere la pace, l'uguaglianza, i diritti delle donne, l'unificazione dell'isola, il gay pride e molto altro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nella vita quotidiana, la piazza \u00e8 utilizzata soprattutto da stranieri che si riuniscono nelle panchine e passeggiano tra le fontane. In generale sembra che i ciprioti non facciano un grande uso degli spazi pubblici. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Questo significa che la piazza della libert\u00e0 (Eleftheria significa libert\u00e0 in greco) sta servendo il suo scopo di dare spazio e voce ai meno liberi? <\/p>\n\n\n\nManifestazione a Piazza Eleftheria, Febbraio 2022<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Accanto alle antiche mura, la piazza principale di Nicosia rappresenta un ponte tra la citt\u00e0 vecchia e quella nuova. \u00c8 uno spazio urbano a pi\u00f9 livelli progettato nell'ambito di un concorso internazionale, vinto da Zaha Hadid Architects.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","content-type":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[6,15,16],"class_list":["post-203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nicosia","tag-cyprus","tag-eleftheria-square","tag-nicosia"],"yoast_head":"\n
