Monemvasia was an important base and fortress in the Byzantine Empire. Until Greek independence in 1821–30, it was considered the Gibraltar of the East due to the great difficulties associated with attempts at conquest. In its heyday, between 10,000 and 25,000 people lived here. From 1715 onwards, population decline began, and it became a dying village. By 1971, there were only 32 inhabitants.

"In the heart of the Peloponnese, west of Sparta, lies Mystras. Its history began with the construction of a hilltop fort by the Frankish crusader Guillaume de Villehardouin in the 13th century. But Frankish rule did not last long: Byzantium reconquered its provinces. Mystras became a Byzantine city, signifying the unity of church and state. It is therefore not surprising that numerous churches and chapels were built and monasteries founded. The best artists from Constantinople, 1,000 km away, came to work in this center of Byzantine intellectual life." =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/mystras-griechenland-folge-41/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS9hZXgvbzEwNDIwODk
