Mystras, or "Miracle of the Morea", was built in 1249 as an amphitheatre around a fortress constructed by William de Verhardouin, Prince of Achaea. Reconquered by the Byzantines and subsequently occupied by the Turks and Venetians, the city was abandoned in 1832, leaving only the stunning medieval ruins standing in a scenic setting.
