About this audio guide
This guide to Vasileos Konstantinou in Nafplio, the street locals still call the Great Road, follows a courtroom drama from eighteen thirty-four, staged in the domed old mosque where the street meets Syntagma Square. You'll meet Theodoros Kolokotronis, a hero of the War of Independence, and two judges handed a document they were expected to sign in the name of the King. Best heard at the Syntagma Square end, with the dome beside you.
