THE VICTORIOUS ADMIRALS 1827

Pylos, also known as Navarino or Nioastro, is where the famous Battle of Navarino took place, concluding the defeat of the Ottomans with the destruction of their Ottoman-Egyptian fleet in the bay’s port in 1827. This monumental battle (the last in history to be fought between sailboats) marks the official moment when the Great Powers shifted their loyalty towards the Greeks. This is commemorated with a mural depicting “The victorious admirals, 1827”.
