The Monument of the Liberation Struggle of EOKA 1955-59

THE HALL OF THE FIGHTERS On their way to the footpath leading to the Stairs of Freedom, the visitors come to the Hall of the Fighters. A copy of the Record bearing the names of about 25 thousand fighters who shoul- dered the burden of the Struggle is kept here. A bronze statue of Freedom breaking her Chains by the Greek sculptor Evangelos Moustakas is also housed in this hall. Before leaving the hall, the visitors may learn about the history of the EOKA Struggle from a large screen monitor. It helps older people to recall the unequalled heroism and self-sacrifice the fighters and the people have shown for the freedom of Cyprus, and the younger generation to become acquainted with these.
