Agios Georgios Soleas (Greek: Άγιος Γεώργιος Σολέας, Turkish: Madenliköy) is an abandoned village due to the turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974 in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, and it lies within the UN Buffer Zone. In 1960, the village had a population of 460; 312 identifying themselves as Greeks, 143 identifying themselves as Turks, and the other 5 not indicating an ethnicity or of mixed heritage.
