    Mystra lies next to Sparta. There are no historical buildings from antiquity in Sparta itself, as the Spartans built and left behind no buildings worth seeing. In Sparta, everything revolved around training warriors as functionally as possible: Spartan, in other words:
    The historical buildings in Mystra date back to the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, Crusaders built a castle. Subsequently, it became the residence of Byzantine princes who ruled over parts of the Peloponnese. Around 1700, 40,000 people lived here. The monastery is still inhabited by nuns.

      Mistras is a very interesting place. Here you can gain many impressions about a lost culture.
