Tripoli

Tripoli occupies a broad upland basin in Arcadia, in the central Peloponnese. The Mainalo mountains rise to the west, while the city serves as the administrative centre of Arcadia and a practical base for the region’s inland roads. Its large Areos Square is marked by an equestrian statue of Theodoros Kolokotronis, a leading figure of the Greek War of Independence. Known as Tripolitsa under Ottoman rule, the town was an important administrative centre and was taken by Greek revolutionary forces in 1821. North of the city, the archaeological site of ancient Mantineia recalls Arcadia’s classical past. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Tripoli and Arcadia.
