Syntagma Square
The central square of the Old Town was originally called Platanos Square after the plane tree that dominates its center. In 1843 the square was renamed Ludovicus in honor of Otto’s father and in the same year the Greeks demanded a Constitution from Othonas and the square was renamed Syntagma as in Athens. In Syntagma Square is the Parliament, which housed the first Greek Parliament, Trianon, the Old Mosque, the house of Theodoros Kolokotronis, the church of Panagia and the Archaeological Museum.
Three Admirals Square
The Square of the Three Admirals is dedicated to the memory of Admirals Codrington of England, Derigny of France and Heiden of Russia, who defeated the Turkish-Egyptian fleet at the Battle of Navarino. In the middle is the monument with the bones of Demetrius Ypsilantis and the statue of the first king of Greece Othonas. Important neoclassical buildings surround the square, such as the City Hall of Nafplio and the first pharmacy of the Italian philhellene Bonifacio Bonafin.
Kapodistrias Square
It is located at the entrance of the old town, a few meters from the Land Gate. In this square is the statue of Ioannis Kapodistrias.
Philhellenes Square
In a central part of the city overlooking Bourtzi is Philhellenes square. In the middle of the square is the monument of the Philhellenes in the form of a votive column in memory of the French Philhellenes who fought for the liberation of Greece during the Greek Revolution. Northwest of the square there is the bust of the heroine of the Greek Revolution Mantos Mavrogenous and on the northeast side we find a neoclassical two-storey building of the 19th century that belonged to a family known for its donations, Iatros family.
Kolokotronis Square
Just before the entrance to the old town and near Kapodistrias Square is the square or park of Kolokotronis. It extends to the railway station and in the central part of the park dominates the monumental equestrian statue of Theodoros Kolokotronis.
Psaromahalas Square
In the square of the oldest district of Nafplio there was the first hospital, an important hospital for the poor, bequeathed by the Duke of Athens Nerios Atsagioli. From this hospital only the small church of Saints Apostoloi, that was located in the yard of the hospital, survives.
