Megali Maini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] History

Megali Maini (Greek:Big Maini) was a Frankish castle in Mani, Greece. The castle was built by William II Villehardouin in around 1249 AD. He was captured by the Byzantine in 1261 and had to give up Maini as part of his ransom.

[edit] Mystery

The location of the castle hasn't been determined. There are suggestions that it is the castle of Tigani, which is the most likely as it matches the description.
