Syntagma Square
Πλατεία Συντάγματος
The marble square in the heart of the old town, surrounded by the Venetian Arsenal, an Ottoman mosque and the site of Greece's first national assembly.
Syntagma Square is the center of Nafplio, paved with polished marble. On its west side, the Venetian Arsenal of 1713 now houses the Archaeological Museum. Next to it, the Ottoman mosque known as Vouli was once used as the venue for the first National Assembly of Greece. Another mosque now serves as a theater. Cafés and restaurants line the square, and in the evening children play here, making it a good place to experience local life. It is open all day, and admission is free.
