Peloponnese is considered to be the core of the ancient Greek civilization. Sites like Mycenae, Epidaurus and Olympia are among the most famous in Greece and city states like Sparta, Argos and Corinth played a key role in the ancient Greek history.

On the other hand the later on history on the region, from the 5th to the 15th century AD, when it was a part of the Byzantine Empire is relatively less known.

The troubled history of the Peloponnese, from the first collapse of the Byzantine Empire in the early 13th century AD, to the outbreak of the Greek war of Independence in the early 19th century AD, defined the layout of Nafplio. The powerful fortress of Acronafplia and its safe port always attracted numerous aspiring conquerors.
