 The archaeological site of Mystras is found about 5 km from the historic town of Sparta, in Laconia Peloponnese. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and includes well-preserved Byzantine churches, the remains of a Palace and strong walls. The most famous churches of Mystras are Agios Demetrios, where Konstantinos Paleologos, the last Byzantine Emperor was crowned, and Agioi Theodoroi with beautiful frescoes.
Today the Palace of Mystras and some churches are under restoration process. In the courtyard of Agios Demetrios, you can visit the Archaeological Museum of Mystras with many Byzantine and Ecclesiastical exhibits. In 1989, Mystras was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Monument.
