Apply Visa to Cyprus in Iran

The special relationships that Cyprus maintained with Venice and Italian cities have been marked by contrasting phases that show a consolidation of reports throughout the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The first known links go back to the Byzantine period, when the Emperor Manuel Comnenus gives to the Venetians the right to trade and settle on the Island since 1147. A community soon settled in Lemesos (Limassol) and the surrounding region and also in Pafos and Lefkosia (Nicosia). In the 1180s, the Venetians are already a powerful community; no monument of this period remains and the information comes from a manuscript, deposited in a Venetian private collection.
