Mystras is a UNESCO World Heritage Byzantine fortified city built on a steep spur of the Taygetos mountain range in the heart of Laconia. Once a thriving late Byzantine capital, it flourished as a centre of art, philosophy, and culture, home to the scholar Gemistos Plethon. Its remarkably preserved palaces, churches adorned with vivid frescoes, and cascading ruins offer an unparalleled window into the final glorious chapter of Byzantine civilisation.
