    About This Location

    Old GSP Square, located just outside the Venetian walls of Nicosia, is a central urban space built on the site of the original GSP Stadium. For decades, the old stadium served as a major landmark where football matches, gatherings, and community events brought people together. After the stadium was relocated, the area was transformed into an open public square that continues to play an important role in the everyday rhythm of the capital.

    Today, Old GSP Square is a spacious meeting point surrounded by cafés, restaurants, shops, and cultural venues. Its open layout, modern paving, and wide sidewalks make it a popular place for walking, socializing, and relaxing outdoors. The square also serves as a natural gateway into the walled city, with easy access to major streets such as Ledras and Onasagorou, as well as the historic neighborhoods and cultural sites within old Nicosia.

    The space blends contemporary urban design with the heritage of its past, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Whether visitors come to enjoy a coffee, explore the city, or join one of the events that occasionally take place here, Old GSP Square remains an important social and cultural hub for both locals and travelers.
