The Nicosia Municipal Market building was designed in 1965 by architect Stavros Oikonomou and is located within the walled city of Nicosia. The building was originally conceived for dual use, functioning both as a municipal market and as offices for the Municipality of Nicosia. It is considered one of the most significant buildings of the 1960s and a representative example of mature modernism, and has been officially designated as a listed building. Its extension and renovation into the CYENS Centre of Excellence were carried out by architect Giorgos Tsanggarides. Architecturally, the project combines traditional elements with contemporary interventions, creating a high-tech environment. Functionally, it operates as a research and innovation hub in digital technologies, offering collaborative workspaces, laboratories, and interactive experiences.
