Sparta (Doric Greek: Σπάρτα, Spártā; Attic Greek: Σπάρτη, Spártē) or Lacedaemon (/ˌlæsəˈdiːmən/; Λακεδαίμων, Lakedaímōn) was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.
Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars. Between 431 and 404 BC, Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War, from which it emerged victorious, though at great cost of lives lost. Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece. However, it maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC. It then underwent a long period of decline, especially in the Middle Ages, when many Spartans moved to live in Mystras. Modern Sparta is the capital of the Greek regional unit of Laconia and a center for the processing of goods such as citrus and olives.
Greece (i/ɡriːs/ GREESS; Greek: Ελλάδα, Elláda [eˈlaða]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, Ellīnikī́ Dīmokratía [eliniˈci ðimokraˈti.a]) and known since ancient times as Hellas (/ˈhɛləs/; Greek: Ελλάς, Ellás), is a country located in southeastern Europe. According to the 2011 census, Greece's population is around 10.8 million. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki, which is commonly referred to as the co-capital.
Greece is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north and Turkey to the northeast. Greece consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands (including the Dodecanese and Cyclades), Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km (8,498 mi) in length, featuring a vast number of islands, of which 227 are inhabited. Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous, with Mount Olympus being the highest peak at 2,918 metres (9,573 ft).

Η Σπάρτη είναι πόλη της Πελοποννήσου και πρωτεύουσα του νομού Λακωνίας της Ελλάδας. Η σημερινή Σπάρτη είναι χτισμένη νότια από το κέντρο της αρχαίας ομώνυμης πόλης, κοντά στη δεξιά όχθη του ποταμού Ευρώτα. Η πεδιάδα που απλώνεται γύρω της είναι καταπράσινη από ελιές, πορτοκαλιές, λεμονιές, μουριές και άλλα δέντρα. Στα νοτιοδυτικά υψώνεται το όρος Ταΰγετος με τις πανύψηλες κορυφές και την άγρια ομορφιά του. Στα ανατολικά της πόλης βρίσκεται η οροσειρά του Πάρνωνα, που είναι κατάφυτη από έλατα και άλλα δέντρα. Η πόλη επανιδρύθηκε μετά την απελευθέρωση της χώρας το 1834, ύστερα από απόφαση του βασιλιά Όθωνα και σε επίσημη τελετή την 1 Ιανουαρίου 1857 έγινε η εγκαθίδρυση των αρχών από το Μυστρά στη νέα πόλη, που ήταν και η πρώτη στην Ελλάδα που χαράχθηκε με πολεοδομικό σχέδιο.

Mystras, Sparta Greece http://www.myvideomedia.de English see below [dt.] Mystras - Μυστράς , die ehemalige byzantinische Stadt, liegt auf dem Peloponnes, Griechenland, direkt neben Sparta. Die Festung wurde 1249 von fränkischen Kreuzfahrern gegründet aber bereits 1259 von byzantinischen Truppen übernommen. In der Folgezeit entwickelte sich rasch unterhalb der Burg ein kulturelles byzantinisches Zentrum, das von ca. 30.000 Menschen bevölkert wurde. Die Meisten stammten aus dem nahegelegenen Sparta, das sich nicht so leicht verteidigen ließ. 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...
