Mystras or Mistras, also known in the Chronicle of the Morea as Myzethras or Myzithras, is a fortified town and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Situated on Mt. Taygetus, above ancient Sparta, and below a Frankish castle, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering during the Palaeologan Renaissance, including the teachings of Gemistos Plethon. The city also attracted artists and architects of the highest quality. • Mystras remained inhabited throughout the Ottoman period, when Western travellers mistook it for ancient Sparta. In the 1830s, it was abandoned and the new town of Sparta was built, approximately eight kilometres to the east. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the Sparta municipality. As an exceptionally well-preserved example of a Byzantine city and because of its testimony to the development of Late Byzantine and Post-byzantine art, Mystras was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1989. • _____ • Shots, Video Making: Theofilos Mpampoulis • Equipment Used: DJI Mavic Air 2 • Like, comment and subscribe to support our channel and click the bell to enable notifications for more videos: • / @pointofviewgr • Follow us on Instagram: • / pointofview_gr • Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): • https://uppbeat.io/t/iros-young/a-man... • License code: REH6DDBFJST4ROZK • Buy us a coffee to help us keep exploring: • https://buymeacoffee.com/pointofview • Thank you for your great support. • _____ • Legal Notice: • The content of this channel, including: videos, images and logo made by Point Of View GR.
