About this audio guide
This guide to the Trianon, the Old Mosque on Syntagma Square in Nafplio, follows one plain domed hall through the rites it was asked to host, beginning in sixteen eighty-seven when Venetian rule reached the town. It touches Saint Anthony of Padua, the Ottoman return, and a school where poor children taught one another with Ioannis Kapodistrias paying the bills. Best heard from the square, facing the three small domes over the porch.
