Náfplion - Prónia

In the district of Prónia is the square in which the Greek National Assembly approved the selection of King Otto in 1832. Here too, on a rock on the right-hand side of the road to Epidauros, is a carved figure of a recumbent lion (by a German sculptor, Siegel) commemorating the Bavarians killed in 1833-34. Also in Prónia is the Ayía Moní, a nunnery with a church dating from 1149 and a luxuriant garden containing the spring of Kanathos in which the goddess Hera annually renewed her virginity.
