		Nafplion was the harbor of the major Mycenaean city-state of Argos from the 7th century BC on, and it became an important military and commercial harbor during the Venetian rule of the Peloponese, after 1204 AD.
		The Venetians, led by Governor Morosini of Crete, built Palamidi, the castle above the town, and Bourtzi, the small garrison tower in the middle of the harbor, and made Nafplion the capital of the whole Peloponese.
		One of the new Bavarian administration's first acts was to move the capital to Athens and away from the influence of the Peloponesian warlords. Nafplion remained a quiet and pretty regional administrative hub of the eastern Peloponese.
