This reflection is oriented towards the various memorial marks of the recent Cypriot conflict history (1955-1974) existing in different physical public spaces, both opened and enclosed. It analyses the multiple political and social issues that arise from this history through initial field observations coupled with the results of previous work carried out by other researchers. The main hypothesis that seems to emerge thus far is the ubiquity of conflicting memory elements. The latter appear to be firmly rooted in these dissenting territories.
