The Pantanassa Monastery in Mystras, Peloponnese, founded by Ioannis Frangopoulos, a senior official of the Despotate of Mystras, in 1428, is a must-visit for history buffs. This church, located under the walls of the Upper City, is the last built in Mystras. The monastery's central position on the eastern slope and the castle makes it stand out among other monuments in the area. Its excellent preservation makes it a popular attraction in Mystras. Today, Pantanassa Monastery is home to nuns who provide accommodation to pilgrims, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
