Municipal Unit of Tripoli

Tripoli has served as an administrative centre in central Arcadia since the Ottoman period. Set on the broad Arcadian plateau in the central Peloponnese, the city lies near the foothills of Mount Mainalo, a forested massif associated with the god Pan in ancient Greek tradition. Known as Tripolitsa under Ottoman rule, it became a crucial objective in the Greek War of Independence; its capture by Greek forces in 1821 was a major turning point in the struggle. Today, Tripoli is the capital of Arcadia, with civic life focused around Areos Square. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Tripoli and Arcadia.
