Limovisi, one of the most imposing and historic traditional settlements of mountainous Arcadia, is a deserted castle village of the Municipality of Tripoli built in a fir-covered and inaccessible location at an altitude of 1,200 meters, which has rightly been characterized as the historical cradle of the Greek Revolution due to its unique medieval and klepturiat atmosphere. A reference point of the area is the restored ancestral home of the Kolokotronis, which today operates as the Museum of the Revolution of 1821, as Limovisi was the safe haven that nurtured 12 entire generations of the legendary family and was the permanent base and homeland of the commander-in-chief Theodoros Kolokotronis. Today, Limbovisi enchants the visitor with its few stone ruins, its lush natural landscape and the historic church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos —where the Old Man of Morea and his lads used to worship— while offering a breathtaking view of the wild ravines of Mainalo and Arkoudorema. With its trademark Kolokotronis monument in the square and the traditional little cafe that gives life to the park, it is becoming a top destination for lovers of history and alternative activities, as beautiful hiking trails ideal for Trekking pass through here.
