The street first showed signs of growth in 1923; The Independence of The Republic of Cyprus in 1960 was an important day in the History of Cyprus, and it was the call for the street to be named after it; Anexartisias ( Greek: Ανεξαρτησίας, romanized: Anexartisías, lit. 'Independence'). [3]
The main attractions are, evidently, the multitude of shops and cafes hosted on the street, which are what made it so well known to the residents of the area.
Other than shops, the District Office is also located in the street. The District administration also takes part in decorating the street and the surrounding ones with decorations (for example: Christmas).
On Sunday (20/02), the roof of a building collapsed, after renovations; due to poor concrete stability testing. Pedestrians and vehicles were in the incident site during the collapse; with no injuries or damages to the vehicles. The building was owned by a church administration in the area. [4]
In February 2021, the Swedish-Brand, H&M, announced that they were building a new branch on the street. It was scheduled to open the Summer of that year. [5] The opening was later postponed to 18 November 2021, [6] before it was finally opened 3 March 2022. [7] The 8-month delay surely had upset many shoppers and once it opened, there was criticism around the “unfinished” building, especially after months of delay.
