Although the text focuses on the A’ Venetian possession (1463-1540) and the B’ Venetian possession (1694 - 1713), however, the narrative is extended in the periods of different conquerers, of Byzantine medieval and modern history in order to have an holistic point of view and a more complete interpretation of the architectural in-print.

The central axis of the research is the concept of the palimpstest that applies in Monemvasia. During the investigation, data are listed on the urban structure planning of the castle area and the evolution of the “άστυ”, as shaped by each architectural trends and styles. At the same time, reference is made to the general characteristics as well as the particular ones that dictated this development and played a crucial role. Their composition aims to identify the Venetian influences and interventions - either assumed or checked - by analyzing their features and finding their synapses.
