Liberty Monument, Memorial structure at Podocattaro Bastion in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The Liberty Monument stands on the Podocattaro Bastion of the Venetian walls. Its light-coloured stone base rises in steps to a central square tower topped by a bronze female figure with her right arm raised. Below her, a bronze man holds a chain attached to a horse, another raises a stick, and further bronze figures stand on the side staircases and in a central opening. Two plaques on the lower right wall read "ΒΑΛΚΑΝΤΈΣ" and "ΤΗΣ ΚΎΠΡΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΊΑΣ".

The Liberty Monument was erected in 1973 at the Podocattaro Bastion of the Venetian walls of Nicosia. It honours the EOKA fighters of the 1955–1959 Cyprus Emergency, the anti-British campaign of that period. The monument was raised fourteen years after the emergency ended.

The monument serves as a gathering place where Cypriots remember their independence movement during important national occasions. The sculptures depict people from different walks of life breaking free from oppression.

The monument stands on the Podocattaro Bastion of the Venetian walls, on the northern edge of the old town, so it can be reached on foot from the city centre. The stepped stone base and bronze figures are outdoors and visible at any hour.

The sculptures depict not just fighters but also peasants and clergy breaking free from colonial constraints. This inclusion of different social groups makes the composition stand out in its artistic expression.
