Trypiotis is an historic neighbourhood, quarter, Mahalla, or parish of central Nicosia, Cyprus.
[5] The name "Trypiotis" derives from a miracle reputedly performed in Phrygia by the Archangel Michael, to whom the church is dedicated.
In 1882 a new passageway was made through the walls, to supplement the existing openings at Paphos, Famagusta and Kyrenia Gates.This was called the Hajisavvas Opening and it included a wooden bridge crossing the "moat" to take a road southwards towards the government buildings.
[10] This square (now renovated) connects the old quarter with the new part of the quarter outside the wall, which encompasses the important shopping streets of Nicosia, the prestigious Stasikratous Street, Themistokli Dervi Avenue and Makariou Avenue.
Nicosia town hall is located on the D’Avila bastion of the walls and overlooks Eleftheria square.
