Angolemi (Greek: Αγγολέμι; Turkish: Taşpınar) is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, southwest of Morphou. De facto, it is administered as part of the Lefke District of Northern Cyprus.
Etymology
[edit]According to a suggestion, the name Angolemi is given by the Lusignans, after the town of Angoulême in France.[3][4] Some sources say that a knight from Angoulême lived in the village in the Middle Ages.[5]
Another suggestion says that the name is derived from the former Patriarch of Antioch, Pierre d'Angoulême.[6][7]
The village is commonly known as Angolem among local people.
Architecture
[edit]The houses in the village are mainly made of adobe, while concrete ones are also present. The village has developed to the fields outside the village since early 2000s.[4][8]
Many houses are neglected and abandoned because of migration to Nicosia. There are unused vehicles in the streets.[4]
Demographics
[edit]The first information about the population of the village is from the time of Mahmud II.
