Cyprimento: Cyprus Beneath the Surface
An interactive map lets visitors compare Cyprus's 1963 aerial orthophotography with present-day satellite imagery.
Field notes
The map pairs 1963 aerial orthophotography from Cyprus's Department of Lands and Surveys with current satellite coverage attributed to Mapbox and Maxar. Its comparison interface includes a 1963/Today view, coordinate copying, distance measurement, labels, and a tool for attaching memories to locations. The project also exposes 1946 town plans, parcel boundaries, and colourised imagery, although colourisation is explicitly marked experimental and the captured page reports that the map failed to load.
