Mistra was the capital of Byzantine Greece and from what remains today we can see what a fourteenth century Byzantine town looked like; the are the some of the ruins bottom left. It was situated on a commanding hill near the ancient city of Sparta and was ceded to the Byzantine empire as ransome in 1259. It was taken by the Turks in 1460; the Venetians ruled from 1687-1715 when it again came under Turkish domination. In 1770 the town was burnt by the Albanians during a Greek revolt against the Ottomans. Mistra is famous for its delightful Byzantine churches and monasteries, such as the monastery left, which contain particularly beautiful and elegant wall paintings.
This is from a book called Greece: A Picture Book to Remember Her By. Designed by David Gibbon and produced by Ted Smart. Cresent Books. New York.
