The joint event will be held at the Hilton - Cyprus Hotel in Nicosia/Lefkosia, Cyprus. Nicosia is the only inland city of the island and is the capital since the 11th century AD. The Lusignans turned it into a magnificent city with a Royal Palace and over fifty churches. Today it blends its historic past brilliantly with the bustle of a modern city. The heart of the city, enclosed by 16th century Venetian Walls, is dotted with museums, ancient churches and medieval buildings preserving the nostalgic atmosphere of years past. But the historical span of the city goes back to the dawn of civilisation, as habitations of the Early Bronze Age (2.300 B.C) were found around the river that used to cross the city. Today, it is a town with a double character; the rich medieval city is there to be seen within the Venetian walls with its narrow alleys and palm trees, its beautiful Byzantine churches, whereas a modern city is spreading into the plain. A dividing line runs across the very heart of the city, as a result of the Turkish Invasion of 1974 and the hopes and efforts of both the Greek and the Turkish Cypriots inhabitants is directed towards the finding of a solution that will bring peace and prosperity. ;
