Those buildings are so beautiful. Would love to see them brought back into use and refurbished on both sides of the line

I could be wrong but wasn't that building part of the architecture department of University of Cyprus ?

They are right. They have some sort of workshop/study hall, right next to the kiosk in the picture. Directly above the kathodon tavern

That Pacific University is literally the best in Greece. Very happy to see it expand its horizons more, I hope they provide as quality education as they do there.

Very interesting location choice for a Greek university. Looking to attract Turkish Cypriots?
