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.
At the Eastern utmost of the square it is found the wooden roofed
Chapel of Virgin Mary Eleftherotria, built according to the traditional
Cypriot church buildings of the region of Troodos, in order to remind
the bonds of the fight with the Orthodox Church of Cyprus.
