Vroisha or Frodisia (Greek: Βροΐσια [ˈvro.iʃa] or Φρόδισια; Turkish: Vroişa or Yağmuralan) is a deserted village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, in the Paphos Forest. Before 1964, it was inhabited exclusively by Turkish Cypriots. Vroisha was deserted between 15 and 18 March 1964. Soon after, the Forestry Commission of the Republic of Cyprus razed the village to the ground. The village has been known as Vroişa (Vroisha in English) for hundreds of years; sometime after 1974, the Republic of Cyprus changed its official name to "Frodisia".
