Shacolas Tower, Modern architectural tower in central Nicosia, Cyprus
The Shacolas Tower reaches a height of 50 meters with eleven floors, featuring a glass facade that reflects the surrounding urban environment.

The eleventh floor houses an observatory and museum with exhibits about Old Nicosia, developed in partnership with the Leventis Museum.
The building contains commercial spaces, including H&M department stores on the first five floors and offices in the upper levels.
