archeological museum of tripoli

The museum is situated between Kolokotronis and Agio Basileiou Squares Behind the Alex Hotel.A beautiful, unusual museum housed in a building that once was a hospital. The many rooms and secluded areas mean that the guides need to follow you closely but the inconvenience is understandable and slight compared with the value of the displays you see there.The finds are from all over Arcadia dating from prehistoric to roman times. Many mycenian remains as well as votive offerings to god Pan and other deities.The museum is particularly interesting showing photographic evidence of many sites and the different steps of the work undertaken by archeologists.The staff on duty are helpful and will guide you discreetly through the rooms.Once your visit is over, don't forget to see the War Museum if you are interested in more modern history. Tripoli was at the heart of the war of independence against the too son empire and played a major part at the cost of terrible human sufferings.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα συλλογή.Αξίζει τον κόπο να αναπτυχθεί σε μεγαλύτερο και καλύτερα οργανωμένο χώρο.Λείπει η επαρκής σήμανση στην πόλη για να το βρει ο επισκέπτης.
