Nicosia District, Administrative district in central Cyprus.
The Nicosia District extends over 2,710 square kilometers, containing the capital city and multiple municipalities including Strovolos, Lakatamia, and Dali.
During medieval times, the district functioned under Lusignan rule as the Vicomté province, covering the eastern section of the current administrative boundaries.
The district preserves Greek and Turkish influences through religious buildings, with Orthodox churches and mosques representing different periods of governance.
The district maintains separate administrative functions in northern and southern sections, with multiple municipalities operating individual public services.
The district contains the last divided capital city in Europe, separated by a United Nations buffer zone since 1974.
