Detailed explanation-1: -Nicosia, Greek Lefkosía, Turkish Lefkoşa, city and capital of the Republic of Cyprus. It lies along the Pedieos River, in the centre of the Mesaoria Plain between the Kyrenia Mountains (north) and the Troodos range (south).
Detailed explanation-2: -It further was at an advantageous position due to its ample water supply. As such, the town developed enough for the Byzantine Empire to choose Nicosia as the capital of the island around 965, when Cyprus rejoined the Byzantine Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nicosia is two capital cities in one. It’s the capital of the Republic of Cyprus, which is an internationally recognised country and a member of the European Union. It’s also the capital city of Northern Cyprus, a country recognised only by Turkey.
