Friends of our channel, good day!
Friday today and we present you a new video.
We are located in Nea Epidavros, Argolis prefecture.
The castle of Nea Epidavros is a medieval settlement that evolved into a modern one, on a hill with natural fortification, above a chasm and relatively close to the sea. The old name of the village was Piada.
The castle was probably built during Byzantine times and was completed during the Frankish and later Venetian years.
On December 20, 1821, the First National Assembly of the Greeks began in Piada and ended on January 16, 1822. The National Assembly declared the independence of Greece, decided on the Greek flag and gave the country its first government. In addition, he decided to rename the village from Piada to Nea Epidauro.
However, the National Assembly took place outside the castle, at the site of the old primary school of Nea Epidaurus.
The settlement has continued to be inhabited to this day, but only a few remains survive of the walls of the Venetian fortification, at the top of the settlement's citadel.
Around the perimeter there are remains of the walls that are visible from the village. At the top, inside the castle, there are few ruins and a church (Agios Ioannis) which is the only even building.
It has an irregular shape as it follows the brow of the rock. Its floor plan is long and narrow, extending along the E-W axis and is approximately 120m long. And between 15 and 20 m wide. The walls are vertical with a thickness of about 0.70 m. They are made of medium-sized roughly hewn stones with binding mortar and sections of tiles.
Only its southern, western and eastern sides are fortified, while the northern side is unwalled due to the natural fortification provided by the steep ravine of Vothylas. The castle gate was in the east. On the south side, the remains of a horseshoe-shaped rampart (probably) and two damaged (largely) four-sided towers are preserved.
The central tower, with a square plan, was located in the northwest, at the highest point of the hill. Only the floor belonging to the tank, which was located in the lower part of the tower, is preserved from this tower, and it is plastered inside with mortar (khurasani).
Inside the castle, some building remains are preserved, including the ruins of two one-room temples. In good condition, a third single-chambered temple with an arched roof, dedicated to St., is preserved in the west. John the Theologian. The church, according to a foundational inscription, was painted on the wall in 1710, while a built-in relief plaque from the Middle Byzantine period survives, later engraved with the date 1708.
