PETROBEYS MAVROMICHALIS

Areopoli is a traditional and historical city, home to the Mavromichalis family. It became inextricably linked to the Revolution when, on 17th March 1821, the flag of the revolution was blessed in the Church of the Taxiarchon in the presence of Petrobeys Mavromichalis. The mural honours the Revolution and the leadership of the people of Mani.
