Above the town of Kalamáta is the castle of the Villehardouins. At the foot of the hill stands the convent of Áyios Konstantínos, occupied by nuns who make hand-woven silks. In the Kyriákos House is a museum displaying items of local interest, mainly from the Venetian period and the struggle for liberation.
The Frankish castle has been turned into a park with a tourist pavilion, where one can have refreshments and enjoy a superb view of the area.
