Overview

Going up at the last one from the 108 steps, the visitor finds itself in front of a big square, set with plates from Pilio, and at the depth of which faces "The Monument of Freedom". The Monument of Freedom is composed by two adversative elements. The first is a heavy, horizontal wall. It symbolizes the force of death that fights to keep the spirit, prisoner. At the right end of the wall and at a minimal distance from this it is found the second element, a light column, intensely vertical, that symbolizes the victory of spirit on matter. Finally the winner is the spirit, that dashes free to the height of the sky. The horizontal wall is adorned by marble embossed scenes from the fight, produced by the Greek sculptor Evangelos Moustakas. Under the bas-reliefs and at all the length of the wall, it is engraved the oath that was given by all the fighters of the EOKA fight.
