Mystras (Greek: Μυστράς, Μυζηθράς, Myzithras in the Chronicle of the Morea) is a fortified town and a former municipality in Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Sparti, of which it is a municipal unit. Situated on Mt. Taygetos, near ancient Sparta, it served as the capital of the ByzantineDespotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering. The site remained inhabited throughout the Ottoman period, when it was mistaken by Western travellers for ancient Sparta. In the 1830s, it was abandoned and the new town of Sparti was built, approximately eight kilometres to the east.
In 1261, the Latins ceded Mystras and other forts in the southeastern Peloponnese as ransom for William II, who had been captured in Pelagonia, and Michael VIII Palaeologus made the city the seat of the new Despotate of the Morea. It remained the capital of the despotate, ruled by relatives of the Byzantine emperor, although the Venetians still controlled the coast and the islands. Mystras and the rest of Morea became relatively prosperous after 1261, compared to the rest of the empire. Under the despot Theodore it became the second most important city in the empire after Constantinople, and William II's palace became the second residence of the emperors.
In 1249, Mystras became the seat of the Latin Principality of Achaea, established in 1205 after the conquest of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, and Prince William II Villehardouin, a grand-nephew of the Fourth Crusade historian Geoffrey of Villehardouin, built a palace there.

Hervorgehoben in der sich spiralförmig nach unten ins Tal windenden Stadt ist der Despotenpalast, der in jüngster Zeit wieder restauriert wird. Er war das größte Repräsentationsgebäude des byzantinischen Reichs außerhalb von Konstantinopel.
Eines der Klöster ist noch heute bewohnt. Die Sakralbauten mit ihren teils gut erhaltenen Fresken und die Philosophie als Zentrum der Kultur, festigten den Ruf von Mystras weit über den Peloponnes hinaus. Nachdem bereits 1770 albanische Söldner der Osmanen die Stadt verwüsteten, wurde sie 1825 im griechischen Freiheitskampf so stark zerstört, dass ein Wiederaufbau nicht mehr sinnvoll erschien. Die Bewohner siedelten dann wieder im neu errichteten Sparta. Seit 1989 zählt Mystras zu den UNESCO-Weltkulturerbestätten.

Mystras - Μυστράς, the former Byzantine town, lies on the Peloponnese, Greece, directly besides Sparta.
The fortress was founded in 1249 by Frankish Crusaders, but already in 1259 it was taken by Byzantine troops. Below the castle, the town developed rapidly in the following years to a Byzantine cultural center, inhabited by about 30,000 people. Most were from the nearby Sparta, because the town was not easy to defended.
Highlighted in the town which leads in spirals down into the valley, is the despot palace which will be restored in recent times. It was the most representative buildings of the Byzantine Empire outside of Constantinople.
One of the monasteries is still inhabited today. The sacred buildings with its well-preserved frescoes and the philosophy as a center of the culture, consolidated the reputation of Mystras far beyond the Peloponnese. In 1770, the Albanian mercenaries Ottomans already devastated the city but in 1825, during the Greek War of Independence, it was destroyed so strongly that a reconstruction seemed no longer sensible. The inhabitants relocated again in the newly constructed Sparta. Since 1989, Mystras belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
