Lefko\u015fa, eskilerin deyi\u015fiyle \u015feher\u2026 Bir\u00e7o\u011fumuzun \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131, okula gitti\u011fi, a\u015f\u0131k oldu\u011fu, ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131 yer. En kalabal\u0131k \u015fehir olmas\u0131n\u0131n yan\u0131nda \u015fu anda var olan tek b\u00f6l\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015f ba\u015fkent de ayn\u0131 zamanda. K\u0131br\u0131s\u2019\u0131n orta yerinde yer alan \u015fehrin ad\u0131yla ilgili ilk bilgiler, bulundu\u011fu b\u00f6lgenin ad\u0131 da olan Ledra\u2019dan gelmektedir. M\u00d6. 1050\u2019de bir \u015fehir krall\u0131\u011f\u0131 iken, M\u00d6. 330\u2019da k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir k\u00f6y kadar kal\u0131r der tarih\u00e7iler. Ledra k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fcl\u00fcr, depremlerden de etkilenen \u015fehir zamanla y\u0131k\u0131l\u0131r ve kaybolur. Kaz\u0131larda bulunan yaz\u0131tlardan ba\u015fka iz b\u0131rakmaz geriye\u2026<\/p>\n
Y\u0131k\u0131lan \u015fehrin \u00fczerine daha sonra M\u0131s\u0131r kral\u0131 Ptolemy\u2019nin o\u011flu Leucon taraf\u0131ndan yeni bir \u015fehir kurulur. Bundan sonra \u015fehre Ledra yerine \u201cLefkotheon\u201d yani \u201cbeyaz tanr\u0131lar\u0131n \u015fehri\u201d denilir. Zamanla bu isim Lefkosia yani Lefko\u015fa\u2019ya d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015f\u00fcr. Yunanca\u2019da yer alan \u201cleuke ousia\u201d kelimelerin bile\u015fiminin ise beyaz \u015fehir anlam\u0131na geldi\u011fi ve \u015fehri niteledi\u011fine inan\u0131l\u0131yor. Medeniyetlerin su kenarlar\u0131na kurularak ya\u015fat\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131 o zamanlarda, \u015fehrin ortas\u0131ndan akan Pedios\u2019un yani Kanl\u0131dere\u2019nin (dere daha sonra yata\u011f\u0131n\u0131n yeri kayd\u0131r\u0131larak \u015fehrin d\u0131\u015f\u0131na al\u0131nm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r) \u015feherden akan g\u00fcr\u00fcl g\u00fcr\u00fcl ve tertemiz suyunun bu ismi almas\u0131nda etkisi vard\u0131r belki de. G\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fcze kadar gelmi\u015f olan Lefko\u015fa\u2019n\u0131n bir de Nicosia diye bir ad\u0131 vard\u0131r ki bunun nas\u0131l bu hale geldi\u011fine dair hakk\u0131nda \u00e7e\u015fitli s\u00f6ylentiler vard\u0131r. \u0130lki K\u0131br\u0131s\u2019a gelen Latinlerin Lef hecesini s\u00f6ylemekte zorland\u0131klar\u0131 i\u00e7in yerine Ni hecesini getirmeleridir. Bir di\u011fer neden Sicilya\u2019da yer alan Nicosia isimli kasabadan gelen kral\u0131n K\u0131br\u0131s ku\u015fatmas\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda 1.

Bir ba\u015fka neden ise Nicosia ad\u0131n\u0131n \u015fehir halk\u0131n\u0131n 1192’deki Tap\u0131nak \u015e\u00f6valyeleri’ne kar\u015f\u0131 isyan\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda ortaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131\u011f\u0131d\u0131r. Son zamanlarda ise baz\u0131 kesimlerce \u201cLefko\u015fe\u201d diye bir isimle s\u00f6ylenmektedir ki bu tamamen uydurmad\u0131r.<\/p>\n
Lefko\u015fa, Bizans \u0130mparatorlu\u011fu\u2019ndan itibaren ard\u0131ndan gelen medeniyetlere de ba\u015fkent olarak ev sahipli\u011fi yapm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. O y\u00fczden bir\u00e7ok tarihi eser Lefko\u015fa Surlari\u00e7i b\u00f6lgesinde bulunmaktad\u0131r. \u015eehrin etraf\u0131 \u00e7ember bi\u00e7iminde surlarla \u00e7evrilmi\u015ftir. 11 bur\u00e7 ve 3 kap\u0131dan olu\u015fan surlar\u0131n Venedikliler zaman\u0131nda in\u015fa edildi\u011fi bilinmektedir. Bir zamanlar baya\u011f\u0131 i\u015flevsel olan \u015fehrin kap\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131nsa g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde k\u00fclt\u00fcrel bir hazine olmaktan ba\u015fka bir i\u015flevi kalmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Gece g\u00fcne\u015fin batmas\u0131yla birlikte kapanan ve g\u00fcne\u015fin ilk \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131na dek \u015fehri koruyan \u00fc\u00e7 dev kap\u0131: Baf Kap\u0131s\u0131, Ma\u011fusa Kap\u0131s\u0131 ve Girne Kap\u0131s\u0131\u2026<\/p>\n

Eski kalabal\u0131k g\u00fcnlerinin aksine kap\u0131lardan ge\u00e7miyor art\u0131k kimse, daha do\u011frusu ge\u00e7emiyor. Barikatlar aras\u0131nda kalan bu kap\u0131lar\u0131n kullan\u0131ma a\u00e7\u0131lmas\u0131 hem tarihi hem de k\u00fclt\u00fcrel a\u00e7\u0131lardan b\u00f6l\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015f Lefko\u015fa\u2019n\u0131n kalbinin, bir b\u00fct\u00fcn olarak \u00e7arpmas\u0131na, Lefko\u015fal\u0131lar\u0131n yeniden bir araya gelip bulu\u015fmas\u0131na vesile olabilir.<\/p>\n

Kim bilir, bir zamanlar bek\u00e7ili\u011fini yapm\u0131\u015f Horoz Ali\u2019nin ruhu belki de hala Lefko\u015fa\u2019y\u0131 bekliyordur.<\/p>\n
