Observation Post (OP) Maple Tower Top

Robert Shipley
RCRM-L2024.007.0002
; digital ink and watercolour

Situated inside the historic perimeter of Nicosia, OP Maple is at the top of an unfinished elevator shaft. Today this OP is not used on a permanent basis, but in 1978 and before, the elevated position allowed for a wide range observation area. In Shipley’s rendering of the site in 2022, a fellow traveller is represented.
