<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;On the lovely detailed Nicosia map there are several such tripoints, and <br/>
&gt;it&#39;s very surprising to find a greek-turkish boundary outside the buffer zone.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>It&#39;s not completely clear from the map, but I would think the most obvious <br/>
tripoint is at the Roccas bastion where the Turkish and Greek sectors are <br/>
only separated by the height of the city walls, and abut against the UN <br/>
zone at the Paphos Gate. There is a park on the Roccas bastion (located in <br/>
the Turkish sector) which overlooks the road in the Greek sector that leads <br/>
to the Ledra Palace crossing.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;or at least the rear wall was &quot;smack up&quot; to the Turkish sector. Actually <br/>
&gt;on my North Nicosia tourist map the church is on their side of the line.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>My impression was that the church was actually located in the UN buffer <br/>
zone, albeit accessible from the Greek side. However, it&#39;s difficult to <br/>
tell for certain, because even with a reasonably accurate map such as the <br/>
one you provided, the thickness of the green line can be difference between <br/>
one building or another.<br/>
<br/>
