Frescoes of the Cretan school in the convent of St Nicholas and St Barlaam (16^th century; fine collection of icons in the Transfiguration Monastery. It was here that the last monastic republic, formed prior to the fall of the Empire, established itself in the fourteenth century. Between 1356 and 1372 the monk Athanasius founded the monastery of the Transfiguration on the Great Meteor. In 1388 his disciple the hermit – king Joseph, son of the Serbian King Symeon – enlarged the monastery. Following their example, other ascetics established wealthy monasteries (24 in all) on the summits of neighbouring rocks).
Monemvasia, Church of Elkomenos, noteworthy icon of the crucifixion.
Mistras. Presents a unique picture of a Byzantine town of the 14^th and 15^th centuries, with its tortuous alley-ways running between churches, monasteries and palaces and its two concentric walled enclosures, the whole being protected by a massive fortress built by Guillaume de Villehardouin in 1249. In 1259 Guillaume was taken prisoner by Michael Palaeologus and in 1263, after three years in captivity, surrendered Mistra to the Greeks. After half a century of warfare with the Frankish barons, the Byzantines reconquered the greater part of the Peloponnese, which from 1349 formed a kind of appanage, governed under the title of Despot by sons or brothers of the emperors: Manuel Cantacuzenos: 1349-1380; his brother Matthew: 1380-1383; then, from the house of Palaeologus, Theodore I, 1383-1407, Theodore II, 1407-1443, Constantine, 1443-1448; Demetrios, 1448-1460. While the core of Byzantium was slowly decaying, the despotate of Mistra was bursting with life. It was here, in the twilight of the empire, that Hellenism showed its will to live and to renovate the state. It seems as though Hellenism found in the despotate of Morea a place of refuge from which it was not merely content to maintain its position but looked capable of extending them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystras.
