'''Mystras''', the 'wonder of the Morea', was built as an [[amphitheatre]] around the fortress erected in 1249 by the prince of Achaia, William of Villehardouin. Reconquered by the [[Byzantine]]s, then occupied by the [[Turks]] and the [[Venetians]], the city was abandoned in 1832, leaving only the breathtaking medieval ruins, standing in a beautiful landscape.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/511</ref>
