There's a lot of history associated with the palace of Mystras, and you can read about it HERE, so I won't even try to explain it all. It occupies a steep foothill on the side of Mt. Taiyetos and overlooks Sparta down in the valley. It makes for a great day trip/hike and I highly recommend checking it out. There's also a week long festival that happens up there at the very end of August/ beginning of September. I'm not sure of the dates, but it's really fun and worth checking out if anyone will be around. Lots of gypsies selling their crafts and wares!
