The Famagusta Walled City Association (Magusa Surici Dernegi, Masder) is a community based – civil society organization, established with a purpose of promoting and developing Famagusta walled city as a culture, history and tourism center with a sustainable approach. In doing so, MASDER focuses on Famagusta city as a whole, motivating the people of Famagusta to better understand the assets of their city and therefore preserve and promote them accordingly. Until now MASDER has organized several events and activities to bring more people to the walled city and show them the assets of the city, such as the children's festivals, where entertainment for children was created while at the same time informative tours on the historical heritage of the city were provided. Furthermore MASDER is designated as the Steward of the walled city of Famagusta by the local authority, and regularly contributes to decision-making that affects the city.
