Nicosia, Capital of the Republic of Cyprus

St. John's Cathedral, Kyprianos' bust

The Agios Ioannis (St. John’s) Cathedral, built in 1662 on the site of the 14th century chapel of the Benedictine Abbey of Agios Ioannis, the Evangelist of Bibi and converted it into a cathedral in the 18th century. In front is a bust of Archbishop Kyprianos of Cyprus. On 9 July 1821 he was publicly hanged from a tree opposite the former palace of the Lusignan Kings of Cyprus by the Ottoman pasha, Küçük Mehmet, who executed, by beheading or hanging, 470 important Cypriots, when Greeks joined the War of Independence in Greece.
