Distant echoes of past secrets

Captured in the house of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, in the old town of Nicosia.

 

This residence used to host the Dragoman of Cyprus at the time of the Ottoman Empire. Today, it serves as a free museem that is open to the public.

 

This room is typical of the Ottoman interior design. Similar castles and rooms can be found in Lebanon too. They were used for the gathering of higher-ups to discuss important matters and smoke.
