Map of the siege of Nicosia, by Giovanni Camoccio, 1574
16th century Ottoman mass-killing of Greeks
The Massacre in Nicosia was a massacre committed by the Ottomans during Ottoman–Venetian War (1570–1573).
On 3 July 1570, Cyprus was inaded by troops of the Ottoman Empire. On 22 July Piali Pasha, having captured Paphos, Limassol and Larnaca, marched his army towards Nicosia and laid siege to the city.[1] The city managed to last 40 days under siege until its fall on 9 September 1570.
Approximately 20,000 Greek inhabitants died during and following the siege and every church, public building, and palace was looted.[2] Nicosia had an estimated population of 21,100 before the Ottoman invasion and, based on the Ottoman census data of 1572, the population was reduced to 1,100–1,200.[3] The devastation of the city was so extensive that, for several years after the conquest, a number of Cypriot villages had a larger population than the city.[4] The main churches, including Saint Sophia Cathedral, were converted into mosques.[5]
