Archaeological site in Cyprus
Nitovikla is an archaeological site of a fortress located in the Karpas Peninsula. The Swedish Cyprus Expedition investigated the area in 1929, they discovered tombs dating to the Middle Cypriot III and excavated the fortress. The fortress was built on a hill that overlooked the plateau and it was made with Cyclopean masonry, it had a square shape with towers in three of the corners and flanking the entrance. It had an internal courtyard with a water cistern. The fort was used between the Middle Cypriot III and the Late Cypriot I periods. The excavation was published in 1935.
