The guide will explain the origins and history of the traditional Mosques. You will also pass in front of the archeological museum.

It is one of the few buildings (mosque) of Turkish architecture that was built in 1730 during the 2nd Turkish domination with isopardy carved masonry. The building is located on Staikopoulou Street.

From the beginning of the 1930’s, the Archaeological Museum of Nafplion has been housed in the imposing three-storey Venetian building in the Syntagma Square.

The church of Agios Spyridon is located in the Old Town of Nafplion, along with the paved streets of the town. This church was first built in 1702 with the financing of the Nafplion Brotherhood of Orthodox Greeks. It was there that on September 27th, 1831, the first governor of the newly-established Greek State, Ioannis Kapodistrias, was assassinated by his political opponents.

The Three Admirals Square is located in the center of Nafplion and was built by the engineer Stamatis Voulgaris during the years of Ioannis Kapodistrias after the liberation of the city. Today, the three Admirals Square is surrounded by important historical and public buildings such as the first high school, the town hall and the Grand Street or King Constantine, which is also the most touristic street of Nafplion, passes in front of it.

Underneath the imposing walls of Acronafplia and in front of the first buildings of the Old City, there is a monument which will definitely capture your sight; it is the Land Gate. It can easily be a meeting point, during your holidays in the city of Nafplion.

The Branch of the War Museum in Nafplio was inaugurated on November 27, 1988 and is housed in the first building of the Hellenic Army Academy.
