Famagusta is a city located on the eastern coast of Cyprus. It is known for its rich history, beautiful beaches, and well-preserved medieval architecture. The city has been a significant port since ancient times and features landmarks such as the Lala Mustafa Pasha Mosque, which was originally a cathedral. The city has a complex political history, particularly due to the division of Cyprus in 1974. Famagusta was largely abandoned during this time, leading to the creation of the ghost town of Varosha. Today, Famagusta remains a focal point for discussions about reunification and cultural heritage on the island.
