The lower town of Monemvasia
In the Venetian times the city was divided into two towns: The more secure upper town, home of the aristocrats and the palace, and the vibrant lower town, home of commerce. In Monemvasia of today only the lower town is saved and restored (picture). The upper town is destroyed with only part of the walls of the castle saved until today.
