Faneromeni Square

Faneromeni Square (Πλατεία Φανερωμένης), is an important historical square located within the Venetian walls of Nicosia. It hosts a number of historical buildings and monuments including Faneromeni Church (Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας Φανερωμένης), Faneromeni School (Παρθεναγωγείο Φανερωμένης), Faneromeni Library (Βιβλιοθήκη Φανερωμένης) and the Marble Mausoleum (Μαρμάρινο Μαυσωλείο).

Faneromeni Square was the centre of Nicosia before Eleftheria Square (Πλατεία Ελευθερίας) took over in 1974. Faneromeni Church dominates the centre of the square and was built in 1872 on the site of an ancient Orthodox nunnery.
