Mixed response to new benches at Eleftheria Square (photos)

Nicosia Municipality has started installing new benches in and around Eleftheria Square, sparking both praise but critical comments on line.

Photos of the benches, which were made in Italy, were posted on Nicosia Municipality’s Facebook page.

The online reaction has been mixed. Although some users have welcomed the benches as ‘brilliant’, others have taken issue with their shape, colour and absence of a backrest.
