Laiki Yitonia (Popular Quarter) , Nicosia |
|
'... This is a city of some size and beauty , where lives the archbishop , whose annual income reaches (so report goes) the sum of 12000 ducats , and most nobles of the island . One can make the circuit of the city in an hour and a quarter... From the time of the Kings of Cyprus many French nobles live here , who still preserve the French costume , and enjoy many immunities and privileges .' |
