Sparti Greece is a small town on the southeastern side of Peloponnese, in mainland Greece. On the southern side of Peloponnese, there is the modern town of Sparti in Greece, constructed next to the location of Ancient Sparta. Famous for its legendary history, Sparta was a military centered society, closed by mountainous boundaries from the rest of Greece. The remains of the ancient town can be seen in close distance from the city center. In the Byzantine times, the town of Sparti was neglected by the castle town of Mystras. King Otto of Greece ordered the reconstruction of Sparti and this is among the few Greek towns built according to an architectural plan.
