On the sign:
The Famagusta Gate
The Famagusta Gate is a gate in the Nicosia walls. It is the main gate of the city

This construction, in the Venetian style has been copied from the famous Lazaretto Gate of Candia designed by Michael Sammicheli at the beginning of the 16th century, and consists of a vaulted passage through the earthwork rampart of the city with a carefully executed spherical dome, eleven metres in diameter, in its centre.
