Nicosia Mayor Charalambos Pruntzos has expressed the municipality’s readiness to assist in the restoration of the historic building that once housed the Corner beer hall.
In a post, Mr. Prountzos states that “the destruction of Corner by fire wounds the memories of Nicosia’s residents and damages the city’s architectural heritage,” adding that it dramatically exacerbates “an unsightly scene that already existed next to the Presidential Palace and across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
