Modern history, starting with the independence of the country in 1960 AD, is marked by important historical moments that stigmatize the city and the whole island as well. With the Turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974, the Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of the city move to the northern part of the island and respectively, many Greek Cypriots settle in Limassol. Several years later, in 2004, Cyprus becomes an official member of the European Union.
