Messolonghi, the Holy City as it has been called, has been identified more than any other Greek city with the Struggle of 1821 [2]. The Exit Gate, the earthen fence, the Garden of Heroes with the mound, where the bones of fighters, statues and busts of fighters and philhellenes are buried, such as Markos Botsaris, Kyriakos Mavromichalis and Lord Byron are just a few of his that the city played in the struggle for independence. The Municipal Gallery, which is housed in the City Hall, permanently houses a collection of paintings by Greek and foreign painters of the 19th and 20th century, lithographs and various objects related to 1821: leaves of the Greek Chronicles of Mager, objects of Byron, who died in etc.

Messolonghi is famous for its great history but also for many other things. Once you pass the historic walls you will find yourself in a sacred but at the same time enjoyable place.
